"some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself "

Other than that sentence, this is not that big of a deal. But the thought of our Commander in Chief needing protection from himself gives one pause.

The manipulation of the story by the NYT is pathetic. They must have feared Mitt or Huck to wait until now to release this piece. Tells you something about what's going down in ink these days. It just makes the NYT look silly that they had to break the "non" story before someone else did. The Times litmus test has become sensationalism and marketability where it once was relevancy and accuracy.


Could it be he is being swiftboated by the radical wing of the republican party?

Who knows how many lobbyists have been hit by McCain's love missile.

Please, recognize the junk you are receiving, whether in emails and internet talk boards,news print, or in the airwaves,as the manipulative misinformation and misdirection that it is."

And according to the Wiki article, Dennis DeConcini was appointed by Bill Clinton to the board of directors of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation after his retirement from the Senate.  

As I recall not one of the Senators was indicted, nor censured over this.

As much as FOTD likes to sharpen his fangs, It's sounding more like the NYT got this one wrong.  Even some big Dems were saying as much last night on various talk programs.

Yeah, now there's now an investigation into NYT because they've been sitting on this for months.  Someone instructed them to run it now.  

Gee, I wonder who that could be? [)]

Kind of like sitting on the Mark Foley story until September '06 when everyone knew about him months in advance of that.

I understand the suspicion, but now doesn't really seem to be an advantageous time to run anything, if one was inclined to get max value from it.  I mean, he's pretty much locked up the nomination now, and the general is months away.  What would this achieve at this point?

Bar Room speculation I've heard is it was the deflection for Michelle Obama being proud to be an American for the first time in her adult life.

It'll get a lot nastier before it's all over.

The race is shifting gears from Clinton V. Obama to Obama V. McCain.

All the talking heads are saying Hillary is toast.  Personally, I see it going all the way to the convention just like Kennedy and Carter in 1980 and Hillary will throw a huge temper-tantrum.  It's her turn remember?

Personally, I'm proud to be a member of TulsaNow for the first time in my adult life. [)]

I am also curious as to why they waited so long to run this considering that the NYT endorsed McCain in this run. But if this is true, and currently there is no actual evidence to prove one way or the other, it would not be his first time to stray.

(Darrell Ankarlo is a conservative talk show host here that has filled in for Glenn Beck from time to time.)

His current wifes family owns the Anheuser Busch distribution for most of the state of Arizona. (Gee, kinda sounds like John Kerry and the ketchup empire)

So NYT times made printed a article based on no supporting evidence what so ever to back up their claims?Talk about yellow journalism.

Since they like printing stories with basis in fact other than he said she said here is a story they might to print.

Soooo...if it turns out that McCain really did have sex with this woman and lied about it, can we impeach him BEFORE the election?

It only seems fair.
