[Said McCain Thursday: "I can assure all Americans that no longer can a member of Congress or a senator pick up the phone and call a trial lawyer, a corporate head of a union leader and say write me a six or seven-figure check and, by the way, your legislation is coming up soon."

Appearing on NBC's "Today" show, McCain said the majority opinion of the court said "there's reams of evidence that shows that this kind of big money has a corrupting — either actual corruption or appearance of corruption — in the way that we do business here in Washington."]

But John, can't front groups still circumvent your bill? What about newspaper editorial boards? Network evening news? Haven't you helped consolidate political influence into fewer hands, especially for "media darlings like yourself?

BTW, isn't O'Connor from Arizona?
