John McCain decides to deal with his lobbyist scandal the old fashioned way: just lie. This is a lobbying scandal regardless of whether he had an affair with the woman or not; it was already known and published that he took money from Paxson, then intervened in a Keating Five-style way with the FCC on Paxson’s behalf; the new twist was the reporting by the Times that shows he also failed to report trips he took on Paxson’s corporate jet. Oh yeah, just the trips with the woman lobbyist on the plane, not the others.
