Hit-and-Run Smear Campaign

John McCain is such a flaming hypocrite!

On February 21, 2008, in the midst of John McCain’s presidential campaign, both The New York Times and the Washington Post published articles detailing rumors of an improper relationship between John McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman. McCain’s presidential campaign called the article “a hit-and-run smear campaign” and “gutter politics.”
