Aha! That’s what I said earlier.
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.’”
