Time reports today that McCain has hired another Washington lobbyist, William Timmons, to help prepare for McCain’s transition, should he win. “Transition” in this context means in charge of hiring all the people who have to be prepared to staff the new administration the moment the new President takes off. So McCain put an oil lobbyist in charge.
William Timmons is an influential Washington lobbyist who has worked in every Republican administration since Nixon. According to the Time article, he is currently registered to work on bills dealing with domestic oil drilling, regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and bills to provide farm subsidies.
McCain is promising REFORM??? By hiring an oil lobbyist who has worked in every Republican White House since I was born to do all his staff hiring for him? You go, maverick.
