New York Times: For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk

and here's the first link I found concerning the McCain-female lobbyist story that Dan Abrams was just talking about on MSNBC.

That's the only link. That's where the story originates from. This isn't "breaking news" and Abrams was commenting on the NYTimes article, which isn't even about that incident from 8 years ago anyways. It just tossed the hand grenade in there for the hell of it I guess (it focuses more on the Keating Five incident from 20 years ago).
