(CNN) — Former McCain political adviser John Weaver confirms to CNN that he did approach lobbyist Vicki Iseman about eight years ago, during McCain’s first presidential run, and told her she was threatening to undermine the heart of McCain’s campaign – that he is a reformer.
Weaver says he arranged the meeting with Iseman — first reported by the New York Times — out of concern that she was “telling people around town” she was getting access to, and had influence with, McCain that Weaver says she did not have.
But Weaver insists he never talked to or asked Iseman about any romantic relationship with McCain because “there was no reason to.”

BINGO!!
If there were no difference in the liberalism of John McCain, Hillary, and Barak, why is the NYT smearing McCain to help the Democrats?
Give the NYT a break... They only falsified a few little details—like whether they had sex.
Everyone lies about sex.
Really? When did Dan RaTHer get a job at the NYT/National Enquirer? Was it faxed from the Kinkos in Abilene too?
When are people going to realize we have an economic/military superpower of over 3oo million here, and it's the big things that count in selecting an administration? Not "too old" or "boring" or playing a saxophone.
NYTimes defends McCain piece.
“Takes Hillary’s implosion off of the front pages, doesn’t it?”
And Michelle Obama’s statements about not being proud of America. A twofer for the NYT.
Right striking against NYTPosted: Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:51 AM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC’s Chuck Todd and Domenico Montanaro
The right appears to be coming down on McCain’s side and striking out against the New York Times. From Politico:
Talk radio host Rush “Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail to Politico: ‘The story is not the story. The story is the Drive By media turning on its favorite maverick and trying to take him out. The media picked the GOP’s candidate, the NYT endorsed him while they sat on this story, and is now, with utter predictability, trying to destroy him.’
“Limbaugh added: ‘This is what you get when you walk across the aisle and try to make these people your friends. I’m not surprised in the least that the NYT would try to take out John McCain. Predicted this, in fact, way back in the early 2000s. Sen. McCain courted the media, cultivated them, even bragged that the media was his ‘base.’ I cringed when I heard it because the media turning on McCain was as predictable as the sun rising in the morning.’”

Rush is right.

Yep, I agree. And I can’t stand McCain. But this (unless there’s more we don’t know yet) is really dirty. The NYT’s is on thin, thin ice...
Maybe. But there’s a little more to it, I think. TNR v NYT. TNR/Beauchamp/Rush.
I’m actually rooting for McCain here.
But but...McCain knows how to work with these people to get things done.
Since John McCain is no longer a viable candidate, It's important that we Republicans get behind Ron Paul now.
LOL, those paulistas are fools.
Thats not even close to how its being portrayed in the liberal MSM. If you listened to ABC radio, they are insinuating that McCain’s been hitting it at their hourly belch.
I am so sick and tired of hearing that the media picked out candidate.
What bunk. We did it, all on our own. In fact the media declared McCain dead months ago.
John Weaver has changed sides more times than the French Army. He is a real weasel
Sex sells.
Sex sells unless it involves a candidate with a (D) next to his name, an alley, a man, a “Lewinsky”, and crack.
