One thing that people are overlooking is that McCain isn't accused of banging an intern. He's accused of banging a lobbyist. This opens up a huge can of worms in terms of ethics and conflicts of interest.

Was it a simple illicit fling?

Or did Iseman trade nookie for votes, or for earmarks, or for no-bid contracts?

There are very, very serious ethical problems here, even if you completely remove the marital infidelity aspects and pretend he's a bachelor.

1. Excellent point! There is DEF. the possibility of more than an
extramarital fling in this affair.

10. he f*cked a lobbyist, he f*cked us...I for one didn't sign up for this threesome
and when I stop laughing, I'm going to take this all very seriously. Until then, bring on the shadenfruede! :rofl:

After the country wasted so much time focusing on Clinton's affair, McCain decided to do this? His actions are stupid but his timing and the person he decided to have an affair with is political suicide. It makes me wonder how much he truly wants this.

13. Is Iseman her lobbying firm's exclusive "favor girl"?
I think that'd be a big story in itself.

14. HELLO WORLD:Are we really saying someone would have a fling with this John?
:rofl: That part is a bit difficult to accept w/o more proof.

This could be a plot to make the unknowing think John seem plausibly appealing! :rofl:
