“Straight Talk Express and campaign finance reform was at the beck and call of special interests.”

But it also concludes he did not do many special favors for his special Lady Lobbyist -I get the impression it is hard to tell, since he did so many special favors as standard operating procedures.

“The Straight Talk is Crock” McCain, the panderick, AKA “Stray Cock” and “Bullshit Local” and “dunnomuchaboudeconomicsleddaFedhannelit”

Is their some catchy phrase for contemptable hypocrite and miserable liar we can think up, preferbably rhyming with straight talk, or maverick.

On other hand, McCain’s handlers have thought things through, and he may have a loophole. In a sense, bald face lies are a kind of straight talk, if you think about it long enough.
