More Contradict McCain's Defense

Not only do we have McCain himself contradicting his defense, now we got another person involved doing so:

Broadcaster Lowell “Bud” Paxson yesterday contradicted statements from Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign that the senator did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist before sending two controversial letters to the Federal Communications Commission on Paxson’s behalf.

Paxson said he talked with McCain in his Washington office several weeks before the Arizona Republican wrote the letters in 1999 to the FCC urging a rapid decision on Paxson’s quest to acquire a Pittsburgh television station.

Paxson also recalled that his lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, likely attended the meeting in McCain’s office and that Iseman helped arrange the meeting. “Was Vicki there? Probably,” Paxson said in an interview with The Washington Post yesterday. “The woman was a professional. She was good. She could get us meetings.”

So the New York Times article as an apparent “hit job”, yet McCain is lying to defend himself? So far no one has proved the NYT article lied, but now we are getting tons of proof that McCain has lied. Can we now stop with this meme of the article being a hit job unless McCain is willing to be honest with the people?
