As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) rails against Wall Street while
concurrently benefiting from its largesse, some journalists are
getting tired.
David Corn -- an investigative reporter formerly with The Nation and
currently reporting for Mother Jones -- has printed a list of 83 Wall
Street lobbyists he says are working for or have bundled contributions
for McCain. The Democratic National Committee has previously accused
McCain of using 177 lobbyists either as campaign aides, advisers or
fundraisers.
Their clients have included AIG, the newest symbol of corporate
excess; Lehman Brothers, which filed for bankruptcy on Monday sending
the stock market into a tailspin; Merrill Lynch, which was bought out
by Bank of America this week; and Washington Mutual, the banking giant
that could be the next to fall.
