Why Did McCain Get Such A Good Deal From His Wife? Were Sexual Favors Involved?
McCain Frequently Used Wife’s Jet for Little Cost screams the headline! 33 paragraphs long yet the answer is in the 5th paragraph or 8th sentence of the article:
The senator was able to fly so inexpensively because the law specifically exempts aircraft owned by a candidate or his family or by a privately held company they control. The Federal Election Commission adopted rules in December to close the loophole ” rules that would have required substantial payments by candidates using family-owned planes ” but the agency soon lost the requisite number of commissioners needed to complete the rule making.
I’m not sure why there was any need to go further than that. McCain is within the rules and the rules would have been changed had there been enough rule changers to change the rule.
