"Lobbyist says he never met McCain about TV sale delay"

WASHINGTON - A former
Dean Goodman, who was in charge of the company's lobbying efforts in 1999, told the Associated Press that he also doubts that chief executive Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson met with McCain over the issue and said he doesn't recall such a meeting.
McCain's presidential campaign said the Arizona senator and then-chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee did not meet with Paxson or his lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, before sending the letters, which have drawn controversy in recent days.

Goodman, who left the company a year and a half ago, took issue with that account in a telephone interview from West Palm Beach, Fla.
"I never met with or discussed this with Senator McCain," Goodman said. "I don't recall Bud meeting with McCain. It would be extremely rare that there would be a meeting that I didn't attend, and I can tell you that I didn't have a meeting with McCain on this issue."

In an unusual response, then-FCC Chairman William Kennard complained that McCain's request "comes at a sensitive time in the deliberative process" and "could have procedural and substantive impacts on the commission's deliberations and, thus, on the due process rights of the parties."Who knows what happened, and who fucking cares?

I used to watch the Sunday talk shows -- looked forward to them in fact -- but the t.v. is off right now.
