Fox news: Tomorrow WP will have an article that Cindy McCain got favorable cell phone service
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 05:20 PM by grantcart
The gist of the story is that Cindy called two cell phone companies and they came and put in a cellular tower basically for the McCain's sole use. McCain sits on a committee that has some oversight repsonsibility with telecomunications.

Expect tomorrow to have a lot of discussion on the issue and Fox is trying to defend the story before it airs.


BTW: that is how bad David and Mika are - you have to turn to Fox and Garrett has more information than those chuckleheads.

5. Faux runs interception, must be bad.
McCain sits on a committee that has some oversight responsibility with telecommunications.

What kind of responsibility? Like to watch for unfair favors? Like to clear decisions on where towers can go?

I can't wait for more details.

6. Wow, I begged t-mobile to provide better service to my house
They wouldn't budge because it would cost too much. So I dumped them and went with Verizon. I guess because I don't have friends in high places.
