John McCain

Big McOil

Via Think Progress:

In Texas alone, June oil and gas-connected donations to McCain’s Victory ’08 Fund, his hybrid fundraising venture with the RNC and state committees, reached $1,214,100.

Of that total, $881,450, or 73 percent, came after June 15. McCain announced his position in favor of offshore drilling on June 16.

So when will the barbecue media rip into the McCain campaign about this? How does this make him just like regular, patriotic Americans?
