America, Meet Vicki

Forget American Idol, the newest star on the political stage is Vicki Iseman. Vicki is a telecom lobbyist that works for Alcalde and Fay (here's the link, but it has mysteriously been disabled) and has done so right out of college. For the last eighteen years or so, she has been making deals with politicians so that her clients get sweetheart treatment inside the hallowed walls of Congress.

Now we are beginning to learn that one of her contacts might literally be in bed with her. He happens to be the front runner for the Republican nomination and in a few contests, he will most likely have enough votes to make it official. What a time for her to make her infamous debut. McCain must be kicking himself for ever meeting her, taking her on trips, doing favors for her clients, etc etc.

Despite being seen as some toy of McCain's, she has been a hard worker at Alcalde and Fay. As Hillary Clinton said that lobbyists are people too, there are some very grateful men and women out there, with strange names like AstraZeneca, CACI International (you know that torturer?), Paxson Communications and PriceWaterhouseCooper.

Welcome to the public world Ms. Iseman, we are all very glad to meet you! Oh I forgot to mention, you look so similar to Mrs. McCain, isn't that odd?
