McCain and the New York Times deserve each other.

I am no McCain fan but I believe in intellectual honesty no matter what or who the subject is.

Taking all the negatives of McCain and his "maverick" ways on global warming, tort reform, campaign finance etc plus his eight year love affair with the MSM and Keating 5 and dumping his first wife for his second etc. etc. and putting them to the side the fact remains that the NYT has clearly engaged in a smear of enormous proportions while displaying all it's pro-democrat bias for all to see.

1 - The NYT took four top investigative reporters and assigned them to look at allegations from 8 and 9 years ago.

2 - The NYT endorses McCain days before the delegate tsunami of Super Tuesday (both helped and hurt)

3 - NYT publishes article based on inuendo and anonymous sources in attempting to claim both immoral and/or illegal activity

4 - McCain campaign publishes 1500-word response that explains not just the legality of any action with regards to companies concern with inactivity that was required by statute (an up or down vote within 300 days) while publicists and allies call the article and the timing a "smear"

5 - The NYT claims today that the McCain campaign is trying to start a "war" with the paper.

So in the end the NYT is trying to say that McCain is picking on them by refuting an anonymous-sourced article with allegations/impressions of an affair and favoritism that was published just as he is securing the nomination and a month after endorsing McCain. Get it?

So again with all feeling aside, even if one thinks it is justifiable payback to McCain and the Republican Party, anyone that denies what it is but a smear (based on the facts presented) is either intellectually challenged or dishonest.

"Our wives deserve a purple heart for sleeping
with scores of other men over eight years, as a quid pro quo,
just to get this fabricated gotcha-story into print."

Steve Beshear has a (D) next to his, unless he has switched parties overnight.
