Washington lobbying firm pulls bio of lobbyist accused in McCain scandal, then readds it

RAW STORY

The Washington lobbying firm Alcalde & Fay pulled the biography of partner Vicki Iseman Wednesday evening after a New York Times article accused her of having a romantic relationship with Republican presidential nominee shoe-in Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).

The removal was caught and reported on by the Huffington Post at 947pm ET.

RAW STORY, however, found the bio was readded around 11pm ET Wednesday night.

Originally, Iseman's corporate biographical profile was posted with the identifying ID tag of "44." An Aug. 10, 2007 file at archive.org -- an Internet service which saves older files of websites -- shows Iseman's bio with the 44 ID.

That bio was deleted Wednesday. A link to the page with ID 44 came up blank when retrieved late Wednesday evening.................
