NYT hit piece on McCain falls far short of Bubba status

Posted 21 Feb 2008 in 2008 election, Bill Clinton, John McCain, media bias, Republicans

While many of John McCain’s policies and liberal aptitudes make him seem more Democrat than Republican, the New York Times seems impatient with his Sith training and have attempted to hasten his journey to the Dark Side with a new innuendo attack.

vicki_isemanSeriously though, as eager as the MSM has been to name John McCain as the Republican to beat, I’m a little surprised they’d try to torpedo him already. The front page of today’s edition alleges John McCain had an affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman about eight years ago. The story cites no named sources and gives no details other than supposed reports from anonymous former aides who claim they had to keep her away from McCain in public.

Maybe the NYT is just frustrated that McCain still claims to be Republican and are wanting to anoint him with a Democrat mantle worthy of Bill Clinton:

  • Liberal politician, check.
  • Volatile temper, check.
  • White hair, check.
  • Allegations of diddling an office intern, nope. (But a made-up story of a possible affair with a lobbyist is almost as good.)

John_McClintonMcCain has gone on the record categorically denying the story (“I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman…” oh wait, I’m getting mixed up). So the Times needs to either produce its sources or retract the story. If these supposed former aides don’t want to come forward and identify themselves as well as give specific details, then the Times needs to apologize for this baseless attack.

Now if they could only teach McCain to have that Elvis-style snarl and play the saxophone, they might really be on to something!
