WASHINGTON — Sen. John McCain (search) pressed a cable company's case for pricing changes with regulators at the same time a tax-exempt group that he has worked with since its founding solicited $200,000 in contributions from the company.
Help from McCain, who argues for ridding politics of big money, included giving the CEO of Cablevision Systems Corp. (search) the opportunity to testify before his Senate committee, writing a letter of support to the Federal Communication Commission and asking other cable companies to support so-called a la carte pricing (search

McCain's an idiot. We Arizonans need better representation but no one dares challenge the media's "golden boy."
He's got to go. Has there ever been a poll about this CFR crap anyhow? Does anyone really care about this? Usually the party winning the elections is not interested in changing the election process.
"Pay TV" meets "Pay-to-Play TV"
Here it is:
My guess is the first bribe he took was the hardest. After that it gets easier and easier. Just another case that proves a war hero can be corrupted just like the rest of them Congress Critter.
Talk about conflicts of interest!
And remember too that McC took huge campaign donations from the founder of Monster.com.......all the while saying it was okay because it was for a good cause. Private jets flying Mc to and fro.
No appearance of conflict there.....sosireebob.
I wonder if he got any large pipe donations?
That was Dennis Kucinich.
CFR is shutting up the little guy and favoring the rich guys. McPain knew that and still backed it. Just seeing his name on the bill was enough for him as he loves publicity.
Limbaugh was talking about this yesterday. The fact that this is the same McStain who gave us Campaign Finance Reform because money plays too big a role in politics is just $&#@ing wonderful.
"This is so incredibly unbelievable..."
Un-Freakin-Believable is what it is. More of "Do as I say, not as I do-ism." McQueeg saddled us with CFR, thumbs his nose at it, and then goes on his merry way -- cash in hand. He is worse than a RINO. Gotta come up with a better handle for this piece of senatorial excrement.
I haven't heard much media coverage on this...but then again I haven't paid much attn. I would bet that they are ignoring this. If it were a REAL republican, this would be headline news for 2 weeks at least.
I've always been partial to "McLame"
AZ was about to recall his sorry ass until 9/11 hit.

Roll it on him.
Ah John, a Keating Five redux methinks.
