*McCain's Rules on Lobbying Face Test (Washington Post 5/23/08)*
By Matthew Mosk and Jeffrey H. Birnbaum; A08
Charles R. Black Jr., the senior adviser to Republican John McCain whose
work for foreign dictators has led Democrats to call for his ouster, is not
the only lobbyist in the family
volunteering on the senator from Arizona's presidential campaign.

For a decade, Randy Scheunemann has been a campaign staffer to John McCain,

seeking the Arizona senator's support for former Soviet states.

Hitler and the Holocaust were caused by God so as to bring about the
creation of the state of Israel.

*McCain Pastor: Islam Is a 'Conspiracy of Spiritual Evil' (ABC 5/22/08)*
By BRIAN ROSS, AVNI PATEL and REHAB EL-BURI
Despite his call for the U.S. to win the "hearts and minds of the Islamic
world," Sen. John McCain recruited the support of an evangelical minister
who describes Islam as "anti-Christ" and Mohammed as "the mouthpiece of a
conspiracy of spiritual evil." McCain sought the support of Pastor Rod
Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, Ohio at a critical time in
his campaign in February, when former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was
continuing to draw substantial support from the Christian right.

By Jake Tapper
The $52 billion 21st century G.I. Bill passed the Senate today. The bill,
shepherded by Sens. Jim Webb, D-Vir., Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and John Warner,
R-Vir., would provide the equivalent of tuition for the most expensive state
college in a veteran's state, give a stipend for living expenses, and award
benefits on a sliding scale.

*POW Aftereffects in McCain Unlikely (Washington Post 5/23/08)*
By David Brown; A06
Sen. John McCain's 5 1/2 years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam
undoubtedly changed the course of his life. But now that he is 71, that
remote trauma seems unlikely to shorten his life span or to lead to mental
or physical conditions that are not already apparent.

By Joe Garofoli
A small knot of counterdemonstrators will greet Sen. John McCain when he
arrives in Stockton today for a day of Northern California campaigning and
fundraising. But the real anti-McCain action is happening in the media,
where labor and liberal activists are starting to get the national press to
do what the still-feuding Democratic candidates can't: Focus on the
Republican nominee.

*OPINIONS AND EDITORIALS*
* More Anti-Lobbyist Than Thou (Washington Post 5/23/08)*
SHAKESPEARE'S famous line about lawyers could easily be adapted for this
year's campaign: "The first thing we do, let's purge all the lobbyists." The
presidential contest in recent days has degenerated into a competition
between Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) over which
one reviles lobbyists more and relies on them less. The McCain campaign has
been tossing overboard a lobbyist a day to comply with an anti-lobbyist
policy written by, yes, its lobbyist-turned-campaign manager. The Obama
campaign seized on the issue to portray the McCain campaign as bought and
paid for by lobbyists, then found itself under fire for having a looser
policy than the McCain campaign when it comes to lobbyists who volunteer for
campaign work.

*Tell John McCain to Stand Up For Our Troops and Veterans (Huffington Post
5/22/08)*
Alex Cornell du Houx
It may surprise you to learn that the current G.I. Bill has depreciated so
much that it doesn't even cover half the cost of an in-state public
university. When I joined the Marines in 2002, I didn't rely on the
educational benefits as advertised because I knew Congress has yet to
fulfill the original promise of the G.I. Bill in modern-day terms - to
provide full educational benefits to every service member. But many veterans
did take that promise to heart, and today they have the debt to show for it.
