Beautiful Timing: Front Pager Tying McCain Home History To Carpet-Bagging History

I was very pleased to pick the paper out of my cactus (missed the driveway again, guys) and see the above-the-fold headline:  "Tempe homeowners:  John McCain slept here".  Great timing, thought I.  For those who don't want to click on...

How Sweet! McCain's Long-Time Lawyer Representing Monica Goodling

Sure, John Dowd's a high-flying, bluster-filled attorney who represents many Republican politicians, I think it is yet another connection between John McCain and the Bush Presidency.  But, Dowd has benefitted from John McCain's (and his buddies') legal/ethical missteps several times over...
