This caught me by surprise. I thought the only way scandal could touch the campaign would be if someone walked in on McCain and Lieberman engaged in some "Straight Talk" on the 'ol Express.

You don't see a massive conflict of interest with McCain [allegedly] banging a lobbyist?

Yes I do, but according to Bob Bennett, the NYT was confronted about all the times McCain voted AGAINST that lobbists interests and that WAS NOT printed as part of the story. Let's hear both sides before we jump to conclusions. And the NYT has supposedly endorsed McCain for Pres.

Please point out where anyone has claimed outright that McCain slept with a lobbyist, then go read the sticky in this forum.

Hi BAD! Actually, it would be more accurate to say that the right wingers around here, especially you, won't know if they've made any sense or not unless I help them out.



Does anyone one else think it's the least bit funny that McCain retained Bob Bennett to represent him in this matter?

All of the other Bennett clients I can think of were shown to be guilty, corrupt, or dumber than ****.

Partial recent list: Judith Miller in the Valerie Plame case, Wolfowitz in the World Bank/Girlfriend scandal and...yeah, that's right...Bill Clinton in the Paula Jones and Lewinsky scandals.

For good measure, Bennett is the older brother of William J. "Slot Machine" Bennett, the foremost fake proponent of Virtue/Character Education in the US.

If you were McCain would you want your name tied up with that resume while fighting off a scandal?

I agree. But it's definitely not a "non-story" if the story has legs.

The NYT endorsed McCain for the GOP nomination. Pretty sure the presidential endorsement won't come until close to the general election.

He's also been a Democratic operative for years, and also the guy who investigated McCain during the Keating scandal

he also recommended no further charges, until the Dems wanted to save face because everyone with dirt was a Democrat

it's a non-issue. No one's on record, the one guy who was named from the McCain camp denies it.

Bennett cooperated with the New York Times, the New York Times much like Michael Moore seem to be wanting people to draw a conclusion through omission of facts.

Wasn't Eisenhower the last Republican the NYT endorsed

They didn't endorse McCain for the GOP nod because they liked him in a general election necessarily
