McCains Get Free Cell Towers at Ranch

McCains Get Free Cell Towers at Ranch

(Newser) – Verizon and AT&T provided portable cell phone towers to John McCain's Arizona ranch free of charge soon after he launched his presidential bid, the Washington Post reports. The companies say it's a unique situation—a modern candidate has to be plugged in, after all—but ethics lawyers say it's questionable because McCain is chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC and the telecom industry.

"It raises the aura of special consideration for somebody because he is a member of the Senate," said an ethics attorney who represents politicians of both parties. "Here is a guy who is campaigning as Mr. Maverick and Mr. Reformer and he keeps skirting the edge." Verizon also took up an expensive process on the McCains' behalf to look into a permanent tower, a plan that has since been scrapped. The McCain camp, which includes several people who have worked as lobbyists for the telecom companies, says no favoritism was involved.

(Newser) - Backlash against the New York Times reporter who contacted minors on Facebook to locate sources has led Times public editor Clark Hoyt to declare, “I would not have sent the messages.” Jodi Kantor, author of last month’s unflattering front-page profile of Cindy McCain, reached out to classmates of McCain's daughter to find parents who knew McCain.

(Newser) - The National Enquirer says it has caught Cindy McCain “passionately” locking lips with a long-haired, “washed-up ‘80s rock musician” type.
