I mean if you think about it does not JM's rebuke of Cunningham's remarks seem to help JM define himself as above the political fray? He is using the guys (Cunningham) lack of a sense of decency to help demonstrate his (McCain) overwhelming decency. <BR/>But the NY Times expo see that there was a relationship between JM and the lady lobbyist is even more curious. Did anyone notice how McCain voted on the legislation that the lobbyist was lobbying about? He opposed it, voted against it. So the story is what? Much ado about nothing? Did the story not "play" right into the McCain campaign's hand.....even Rush was um.... miffed about it. I mean this was the NY Times, they may get grouped in with the right's "liberal media" crusade but it is home to Judith Miller et al correct? Not exactly a left leaning publication if I may say so about the Times. Might they have been willing to take one for the team and publish this story to help rally support for JM? If not how to explain their efforts on the story only to ignore McCains contrary vote? This is obviously a bait and switch situation. Come to think of it, did McCain's campaign hire Karl Rove?DogManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03786982752150421808noreply@blogger.com
