John McCain: Hypocrite Extraordinaire

The infamous John Solomon has this in today's WaPo,
Just about a year and a half ago, Sen. John McCain went to court to try to curtail the influence of a group to which A. Jerrold Perenchio gave $9 million, saying it was trying to "evade and violate" new campaign laws with voter ads ahead of the midterm elections.

As McCain launches his own presidential campaign, however, he is counting on Perenchio, the founder of the Univision Spanish-language media empire, to raise millions of dollars as co-chairman of the Arizona Republican's national finance committee.
The story does a nice rundown of what Solomon describes as 'jarring' contrasts between McCain the reformer and McCain the candidate.
