Hard to swallow

Re “McCain may have conflict brewing,” June 22

Poor John McCain. He might have a conflict of interest because his wife owns a beer distributorship that holds federal and state licenses to distribute beer and lobbies Congress and regulatory agencies on alcohol-related issues that involve public health and safety.

Give us a break. That didn’t stop the oil moguls from becoming president and vice president. Nor did it stop Dick Cheney from holding secret energy meetings. The entire premise of this article is a joke.
