MY BABY, SHE GOT ME AN AIRPLANE

Hilarious.

From the now-notorious New York Times article on McCain:

Mr. McCain promised, for example, never to fly directly from Washington to Phoenix, his hometown, to avoid the impression of self-interest because he sponsored a law that opened the route nearly a decade ago. But like other lawmakers, he often flew on the corporate jets of business executives seeking his support, including the media moguls Rupert Murdoch, Michael R. Bloomberg and Lowell W. Paxson, Ms. Iseman’s client. (Last year he voted to end the practice.)

Pay special heed to the term "media moguls" in the above paragraph.

Now, from Vicki Iseman's bio page on the website of the firm Alcade & Fay, where she is a partner:

She has extensive experience in telecommunications, representing corporations before the House and Senate Commerce Committees. Her work on the landmark 1992 and 1996 communications bills helped secure cable access for broadcast television stations. Her experience in the communications field includes digital television conversion, satellite regulations and telecommunications ownership provisions.

Nope. Nothing funny going on there, eh?

Abso-fuckin'-lutely hilarious.
