That Explains It
When Sen. John McCain came to Utah in March, we reported that the presumptive presidential nominee had a private meeting with executives from EnergySolutions, the nuclear wastse and Utah Jazz arena folks.

What did they talk about? Was it about importing Italian waste? Was it about the future of the nuclear industry? What could it be?

Now it all makes sense. They were buying some advertising on the McCain campaign. Check out this image from McCain's campaign stop today in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Compare the words behind him to the corporate logo.

Clearly McCain is blazing new ground in the field of corporately endorsed campaigns, kind of like NASCAR.

Check local listings for Barack Obama's next appearance, sponsored by Winston Ultra Lights. Or the Levitra Straight Talk Express.

Didn't Colbert get in trouble with the FEC for doing that with Doritos?
