I see this at the link, but is it for real? I doubt Senators
publish their mail to each other.

[firewalk]

oh my...

[ez]

I have a hard time believing this is genuine. It's more insulting than Senators usually act.

[Coop]

I tend to criticize McCain, so I'm more than glad to be fair and balanced and applaud him for this letter! :-D

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

OhBama and the 45 thieves....Democrat Senators.

bump

But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator.

And I suppose McCain is proud of this. He's the worst media mugger in D.C.

If this letter is genuine, I applaud McCain. If this letter is NOT genuine, I applaud whoever wrote it and ask them to please consider running for public office. ;)

How to call a colleague a "clymer" in 3,000 words or more.

McCain flames Obama

Posted by Frank James at 4:42 pm CST

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has apparently just been introduced to the infamous temper of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)

In a flaming letter, McCain accuses Obama of “disingenuousness” for allegedly backing out of a commitment he made to McCain to participate in a bipartisan effort at lobbying reform.

My colleague Jeff Zeleny is working on a story for tomorrow’s Chicago Tribune and is trying to nail down the details of what exactly happened between McCain and Obama. We are also working to get a response from Obama's office.

Sen. Obama's office responds

Posted by Frank James at 5:42 pm CST

Fellow Chicago Tribune reporter Jeff Zeleny talked with Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for Sen. Barack Obama who, as reported in an earlier posting, was skewered by Sen. John McCain who apparently felt Obama misled him about the Illinois senator's intentions to pursure bipartisan lobbying reform.

Zeleny tells me Gibbs expressed surprise over the tone of the McCain letter that came out of a meeting the two senators and eight others had last week. He said Obama remained interested in achieving ethics and lobbying reform.

“If Sen. Oama wasn’t serious about a bipartisan solution,” Gibbs told Zeleny, “he wouldn’t have gone to the meeting.”
