McCain on divestment

Obama poked McCain today for backing divestment from Iran after not signing on to Obama's and Brownback's bill a year ago favoring that course.

McCain aide Randy Scheunemann had no explanation for that, but said Obama should have held hearings on divestment from Iran in his senate subcommittee, despite Iran's location.

(The Europe subcommittee, Avi points out, has been recently granted the scope to hold hearings on anything John McCain is interested in.)
