Every time we turn around, John McCain seems to contradict himself. He's against lobbyists! Wait, lobbyists run his campaign! He's against politicians that seem to skate by on celebrity. But wait! He's something of a celebrity himself, and his running mate, Sarah Palin, is being greeted with more adulation in two weeks than Barack Obama has in nineteen months!
Well, the themes of celebrity and lobbyists converge in this clip, from the newly minted Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. It seems silly at first blush; McCain on a yacht in the Adriatic with Anne Hathoway and her boyfriend? But said boyfriend is a serious con-man, has connections to Rick Davis, the former lobbyist who runs McCain's campaign, and may have received some preferential treatment after this meeting. Heard about it anywhere else? Me either, which is why I have such high hopes for Rachel's new show!
