McCain Introduced by Healthcare Lobbyist at Healthcare Event

Smooth:

At his health care policy event yesterday at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Florida, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) was introduced by the institute's chairman, former Republican senator Connie Mack. But, as Hotline reports, Mack is more than just a chairman. He's also a registered state lobbyist "advocating for health insurance companies."

Apparently the McCain campaign didn't like Hotline's reporting on Mack's role as a lobbyist.

The McCain campaign lobbied On Call feverishly to tank the post. Spokesman Tucker Bounds said this item "borders on ludicrous, absurd and ridiculous."

Reporting facts, according to McCain's camp, "borders on ludicrous, absurd and ridiculous"!

Reminds me of the criticism the RNC and the McCain campaign have levied against our ad, paraphrase of course: "How dare you use John McCain's own words against him!"

If they didn't wanted it reported, they shouldn't have done it, the slimeballs.
