This is not going to be good news for the anti-McCain crowd here.

You mean there was a liberal agenda to sling mud on Johhny-boy?

I’m shocked!

Yellow journalism is alive and well.

I actually think this so-called scandal will help McCain. It will undermine the insinuation that he is “too old” for the Presidency.

Isn’t the NYT news editor a former Clinton/DNC official? Folks the MSM is absolutely dominated by liberal democrat operatives. Stephanopolous, Mathews, etc.

Letters to editor/New York Times:

letters@nytimes.com

They won’t print your letter but someone there will read it.

McCain’s improper relationship is between himself and the media.

I did not see any “sex scandal allegations” in the Times gossip piece. Simply some anonymous persons saying that McCain’s meetings with the lobbyist might create an appearance of impropriety.

Lead article in the Times. At least The Post puts the gossip on page 6, and identifies it as such.

Actually, I’d be surprised if ANY NYT reporter DIDN’T have ties to some left-wing group.

Look, the NYT just got the scandal a little twisted, it wasn’t about sex, it was about access and campaign donations from the telecommunications lobby.

McCain’s dirty, but he’s not a fool. He got in trouble when he was in the house for sex. The ethics charges were dismissed, but he learned his lesson and has been know for keeping his pants zipped.

I bet McCain had to hold back the laughter when he said he was “disappointed” in the NYT. Very few things can increase a politician’s conservative cred like an attack by New York Times.

I don't believe the article, the writer and the NYT for one bit. Although I am not a huge fan of McCain, there is one certain, proven, exemplary statement he should make that will successfully squelch this story be done with it.

John, just tell the public – and look straight into the camera and shake your finger and very dramatically say : "I never had sex with that woman - Ms. Iseman."

It worked sooo well for dear ole Billy boy when he was similarly involved with a Ms. Lewinsky in the Oval Office, and the liberals believed him, unconditionally and even defended him. So, John, it should work for you, even if you are a Republican Senator doing battle for POTUS. That's all the liberals showed us that they need to hear, and they will drop this foolishness because, after all, all those liberals believe that your private life is your private life, no matter where you are or what office you hold. They proved that when they gave Clinton a pass about his escapades, so they certainly will treat you with the same reaction - right???

/sarcasm off

Bottom line: The slut took a paid political ad and disguised it as a news story. Makes me wonder who is paying the McClatchy papers’ stridently anti-US correspondants in Iraq.

The McClatchy papers paid back the bribe they took from the lib money-mill in the Kentucky case but only because they were publicly exposed.
Some loyal American with really deep pockets needs to fund a comprehensive investigation of pro-terror corruption in the media-industrial complex.

Before becoming an investigative reporter for the Times... Marilyn W. Thompson was editor of one of the leading newspapers in Kentucky... took money from a liberal activist group to hire a Democrat Congressional Fellow for a hit piece on a leading Republican senator.

This is no doubt why the New York Times hired her - - she's a perfect fit, ie., a liberal Democrat who is brazen in her corruption and dishonesty. Does anybody expect anything better from the New York Times these days? Sorry, but I don't see the story here.

IIRC they did the same thing to Bush 41 during the election, claiming he had an affair with Jeanne Kirkpatrick who was our UN rep for a time.

I dislike McCain but this NYT piece right after he basically sews up the nomination is ridiculous at best and slanderous at worst. It’s very similar to the Bush DUI leak what 2-3 days before the 2000 election.
