There has been a bit of eye rolling and amusement at "presumptuous" McCain picking the ultimate Washington insider lobbyist to head his transition team. But (hat tip to Rick Perlstein) there is a deeper and more sinister connection and bit of news about one William E. Timmons, Sr. that hasn’t gotten mentioned much, if at all.
That is - Timmons was Nixon’s chief congressional liaison and was known as Nixon’s congressional lobbyist.
OK, fine, so he was only lobbying Congress on behalf of a President who resigned in shame after impeachment was hanging over his head.
