1. I think so.
Boeing challenges refueling contract to Airbus = McCain, Trent Lott, and $35 BILLION $$$$

2. GAO report concluded McCain had used undue influence to help Airbus get contract.
McCain had two EADS lobbyists on his staff -- $100 billion contract sent to Europe, thousands of American aerospace workers put out of work -- this one IS going to take McCain down.
