Is this during the same period when Dodd, Leahy, Kennedy et al were writing to Comrade Ortega ? Before the Soviet Empire collapsed? When the Sandinistas presented a very severe danger to the US?
And if the story was told by Cochran last Winter, why is the paper printing the story now, if not to hurt McCain? He should use the Clinton line, “that’s old news” or “that happened back in the 80s.”
It’s a nice story, and I believe it. But it was a couple of decades ago. Now, if he would do the same with, say, Chris Matthews, Keith OldGerman, Arianna whatsis, and many of the other sleazoids, I’d consider a vote.
