<p>Hilzoy has another <a href="http://obsidianwings.blogs.com/obsidian_wings/2008/05/mccain-and-char.html#more">devastating post</a> about the past career of one of Washington&#8217;s more established <del>whores</del> lobbyists:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>That was what Charlie Black was lobbying for: the support [Jonas] Savimbi needed to utterly destroy his country. Thanks to Black&#8217;s skill as a lobbyist, and his apparent lack of a conscience, Savimbi got it. </p>
<p>This is John McCain&#8217;s chief political advisor. Think about it.</p>
