5. It's supposed to be a joke... |
|
...and a jab at McCain's use of the phrase "my friends".
And his lobbyist problems.

Gee, where to start? There have been two threads on DU today that I can remember: McCAIN AND THE LOBBYISTS started by DUer laststeamtrain and Jack Abramoff: John McCain’s other Lobbyist problem... started by DUer seafan. Does this help?

But, please don't assume I believe "we" are all elitists.
Keeping up on the news is not elitist; it's being informed.
And you're welcome for the links.

11. I haven't kept up with all articles. |
|
Just those few that have to do with John McCain and lobbyists. In fact, there are those who are more informed about that subject than I.
And yes, I am mainlined with speed, thank you for asking.
