This seems like it would interfere with Steinberg’s appraisal of McCain as “a genuine war hero with the courage of his convictions. . . . the one man on the Republican bench who stands a chance of becoming a president we could all be proud of.” Now, most of the people I am proud of would run screaming from a person who openly defended Angolan terrorist Jonas Savimbi, mostly because he was paid handsomely to. McCain is throwing lobbyists under the Straight Talk Express left and right–including the one he chose to run the Republican convention this fall, after it came out that he’d lobbied for the Burmese dictatorship that’s been denying aid to victims of the cyclone–but Black is still safe.
Perhaps Kass and Steinberg will read about Charlie Black and be terribly, terribly horrified at McCain’s lack of judgment or morals or sense and sit silently at their desks fretting about what his association with–I mean, well-compensated and ongoing employment of–Charlie Black says about McCain.
