What's amazing is the sturm und drang surrounding a story where, without evidence of a sexual relationship, there's simply no there there.
Posted at 2008-02-22 06:29:15 [PermaLink]"If there's nothing else to that much-talked-about New York Times story about John McCain, then all the Paper of Record(TM) did was rally the Republican base - including high-profile conservative critics of McCain - around their candidate"
Er, maybe not?
He courted the Left; He "earned" their endorsement; Then he got scr*wed by them. Heh - doesn't warm my dear little heart one bit toward McCain. That he wasn't repulsed by Sulzberger's endorsement in the first place speaks volumes about his political naivete.
"Instead, many swallowed past misgivings about McCain to rally to his defense, on the apparent theory that anyone under assault by the most powerful institution in the mainstream media could not be all bad." BOLLOCKS!
This was pure schadenfreude. I don't know who I was laughing at more... Pinky's further erosion of a once-great brand, or a dotty old-fart's "disappointment"!
