Straight Talk Express Travel Advisory -- Detours Ahead!
Yesterday:
"No representative of Paxson or Alcalde & Fay personally asked Senator McCain to send a letter to the FCC," the [McCain] campaign said in a statement emailed to reporters.
Alas:
"I was contacted by Mr. Paxson on this issue," McCain said in the September 25, 2002 deposition obtained by Newsweek. "He wanted their approval very bad for purposes of his business. I believe that Mr. Paxson had a legitimate complaint."
...
McCain agreed that his letters on behalf of Paxson, a campaign contributor, could "possibly be an appearance of corruption"-even though McCain denied doing anything improper.
