Need I say more? Here’s to hoping Katie Couric and the rest of those slackers pick up on this one, along with the rest of the cartoon characters they report on…

Ken Silverstein, Washington Editor for Harper’s Magazine and acclaimed investigative journalist took his Memorial Day to write about one of this country’s decorated war veterans and how he has lost his way in serving the people, to instead serve private interests. Below is an excerpt from his blog, but please read his latest piece in Harper’s titled, “My lobby, myself: How John McCain’s hypocrisy is laundered as reform.”

“Over the past few weeks, the media has finally begun reporting the fairly obvious fact that there are a whole bunch of lobbyists working closely with the campaign of Senator John McCain. As a result, a number of lobbyists with embarrassing ties to foreign governments have been forced out of the McCain camp, like Doug Goodyear, whose firm lobbied for the Burmese dictatorship a few years back.”

Silverstein goes on to mention another worthy piece recently written by the Washington Post’s Michael D. Shear and Jeffrey H. Bimbaum about McCain’s man in Washington, the 30-year lobbyist Charles R. Black, Jr.
