McCain Transition Head Made Quarter-Million Lobbying For Freddie Mac

Bloomberg:

The lobbying firm of the man Republicans say John McCain has chosen to begin planning a presidential transition earned more than a quarter of a million dollars this year representing Freddie Mac, one of the companies McCain blames for the nation's financial crisis.

Timmons & Co., whose founder and chairman emeritus is William Timmons Sr., was registered to lobby for Freddie Mac from 2000 through this month, when the federal government took over both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Newly available congressional records show Timmons's firm received $260,000 this year before its lobbying activities were barred under terms of the government rescue of the failed mortgage giant. Timmons, 77, is listed as a lobbyist for Freddie Mac on the company's midyear financial-disclosure form.

[idontknowanything]

You couldn't make this stuff up. It's like watching a car accident in slow motion.

[Kindheart]

This post was REALLY funny!!! McCain is going down the tubes and he has a transition team. And he is trasitioning to what??

How does this group bold faced lies to the public and expect to have any credibility?

[loax]

TheRightVoic is full of it. Trying to spin McCain lies on something that is another lie from McCain. so far, that is 2 leaders in McCain's camp who made enormous money for lobbying for Freedie Mac And Fannie mae. The truth is the truth is the truth. Grow up and know your facts before you spout off.

[TheRightVoice]

What about Obamas top aid being a former crook from Fannie Mae.

[CyrusBeaucephus]

That's a lie you are telling to take attention away from McCain and Rick Davis. Fortunately everyone already knows this except Red State Liars. Rick Davis gor 30 grand a month for years to defend Fannie and Freddie from regulation

Thanks for the LIE though, itas always refreshing to see you guys regurgitate lies on command from your Brave Leaders, Rush & Karl Rove

Change is a-coming. Maybe you should consider emmigrating. I hear Paraguay accepts fascists

[emmaspeaks]

What about Phil Graham, McCain/s top advisor getting us into this mess by getting rid of regulations.

[peloquin]

That's already been debunked - he never was an aide. Are you people deaf or just stupid?

[CTmom13]

There are older guys out there that are not fools; Buffett comes to mind but somehow Mc can only attract these has beens that have not evolved since 1950. I guess it sort of explains Buffet's Oracle status while these government teat dinosaurs could not even be trusted with the grand babies.

So? O was going to put the Dem head on his VP search committee who clearly ripped off taxpayers.

This is all so dumb.

[DAE]

Go back to your cave

[CyrusBeaucephus]

What are your feeling about Rick Davis, Isn't he the guy who worked the hardest to make this meltdown a reality? Isn't he McCain's boy?

[suekzoo]

LMAO!

I see an ad coming.

[superhookie]

Cue McCain lies in 5, 4, 3, 2...

[blueshield]

Which is why Mc.Cain, true to his word, is going to hang him by his thumbs, run him out of Washington, and see that he never...what? ....oh...

Actually, he never lobbied for anything in his life.
