One of the big topics of the day on the cable news channels is Drudge Report's story about the New York Times rejecting Sen. John McCain's proposed Op-Ed about Iraq. Fox News has Carl Cameron reporting the story, MSNBC's Chris Matthews talked about it on Hardball and Howard Kurtz gave his take last hour on CNN: "One irony of the internet age: the rejected piece will probably wind up getting far more attention by the controversy whipped up by Matt Drudge then if the New York Times had just gone ahead and published it," said Kurtz.
We hear prime time programs are gearing up for more on the story, with Hannity & Colmes, Larry King Live (with Glenn Beck filling in), Campbell Brown: Election Center and Anderson Cooper 360 set to cover it.
Click continued to see Kurtz' report from The Situation Room today...

By denying McCain the NYSlimes unintentionally helped McCain.
The MSM would have torn McCain apart and now people are turning against the NYSlimes once again.
Shipley appears to be another maggot infected Jason Blair type at the NY Slimes under Pinch. Their maggot infested Dixie Chick Marketing strategy is doing a great job with their subscriptions, ads and stock value since 2004 when their BDS overcame any common sense they had left.
Hopefully they’ll be soup kitchen attendees when the dust settles.
"Hey Dave. Yo Pinch. Wanna go down the fruit cellar with Mother and me?"
However, Im not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written
Mr. Shipley of the New York Times, a question: When, sir, has proper usage taken the form of using the future tense in such bizarre fashion??
Do you mean to state, sir, SIMPLY that "I am eager to publish the Senator on the Op-Ed page." and "I cannot accept this piece as currently written"
In all candor, sir, a psychologist could make much of your words....
The hole gets deeper...
Did I hear that the NYT is going to print the letter as received?
Well, I don’t know,...but I have not heard that as yet...
Thanks Ernest. It may be gray, but it ain’t a lady.
