Mr. Straight Talk, of course decried special interests while his wife was investing in questionable land deals during the Savings and Loan crisis. He also has embraced indicted Congressman Rick Renzi who is a leader in his presidential campaign. Renzi is accused of extortion and also engaging in money laundering. The fact that he has an indicted felon as his close adviser should raise questions about his self-appointed role as a reformer. McCain's hypocrisy is long-standing.

If it isn't resolved soon, it may backfire on the democrats though. Sure holding out gives their candidate an edge, but without some really good reasons for not seating the nominations, it will make them look petty and like they are cheating. Something I would think Obama would want to avoid. I wonder what McCain thinks of his legislation now?
