An unsubstantiated story alleging an illicit affair between Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) and a lobbyist has sparked a surge of support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Conservative radio talk-show hosts who just a week ago were severely critical of McCain have, to a man, rallied to his defense. McCain’s campaign has also reported significant increase in cash donations.
Given these positive results, the McCain campaign sees value in keeping the battle with the Times alive. Consequently, Senator McCain has attempted to goad the Times into further attacks by denigrating the paper’s staff as “a bunch of simpering pantywaists” and belittling the smear. “I’ve seen more effective ‘mud-slinging’ by a four-year-old,” McCain jeered.
Times executive editor Bill Keller bristled at the new volley of taunts from McCain, saying, “If Senator McCain thinks we can’t do better, he’s sadly mistaken. The Times employs some of the most creative writers on the planet. I can assure the Senator that we are working overtime on several new stories that will blow the lid off his futile campaign for the presidency.”
Insiders at the Times indicated that the paper is preparing a “blockbuster” piece that “will expose the true agenda behind McCain’s alien amnesty bill.” “People who were upset when they thought Senator McCain was paving the way for illegal aliens from Mexico will go berserk when they learn that the real intended beneficiaries are aliens from another planet,” said a source requesting anonymity. “We even have photos documenting McCain’s meetings with representatives of the Andromeda Galaxy. Let him try to explain that away.”

It is possible to support him against the NYTimes without supporting him for President.
Ping
agreed
LOL..Tell me that is not a true quote. Can't believe he said that.
“We even have photos documenting McCain’s meetings with representatives of the Andromeda Galaxy”
I think the “Weekly world News “ scooped ya on that!
I wish!
However, this video is pretty funny: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=F2zx3-0zOPs

Thanks John. I really needed this. Not much fun today with our horrible arctic storm. You’re the best!
Good one, John. I like the part about them employing some of the most creative writers on the planet, that’s absolutely true. lol
The Times and Post were setup.
And if they don't have the goods on him yet, I'm sure Sen. Reid's propensity to direct people towards other's FBI files, they soon will.
But then, I don't think even the NY Times would be allowed to view someone's FBI files for themselves.
Hmmmm...I wonder what Craig Livingstone is up to these days.
Heh, heh. I wish!
That pathetic crap about being "disappointed" with the NY Times was....wait....I already said it...pathetic.
You'd think spending several years in a prison camp would've made more of a man out of him.
