\nRoll Call <\/em>just broke a huge new story on video of Linda McMahon telling a gathering of tea party supporters in Waterbury in April: “I have not spent lobbying dollars in Washington.”<\/p>\n

The Roll Call <\/em>report notes that disclosure records show that World Wrestling Entertainment, the company McMahon headed, spent at least $680,000 in Washington lobbying from 2001 through 2008.<\/p>\n

McMahon spokesman Ed Patru said McMahon “probably could have been more precise.”<\/p>\n

The Capitol Watch blog of the Hartford Courant <\/em>commented on Twitter, “Roll Call story on McMahon’s lobbying statements could prove far more damaging than minimum wage-gate.”<\/p>\n
