Felon McCain?

The Wall Street Journal published this little gem:

The Logan Act makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, "without authority of the United States," to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government's behavior on any "disputes or controversies with the United States."

Of course when they published it, they were talking about Nancy Pelosi going to Syria. Why isn't the WSJ raising the same legal concerns about John McCain? He has sent a "delegation" there and been talking to the Georgian President on a daily basis. Instead the WSJ decides to give McCain a platform to further promote his propaganda.

Last I checked the Speaker of the House was higher up the chain of command than a Senator from Arizona, or did Bush executive order out that part of the Constitution also?
