“I hope the Glob and Times die before they develop a successful internet-based business model.”

The ad revenue the Times gets off of internet ads has been slowing.

Not nearly a large enough drop in revenue. More, I want the N.Y. Times to bleed faster.

I can think of a better scenario.

First, McCain wins in November, ensuring Republicans running the Justice Department in 2009-10.

Second, the Justice Department, sometime between November 5 and January 20, files charges against the NYT's Editor, Board, and Chairman (Putz, I mean Pinch, Sulzberger) for the crime of treason for willingly revealing the details of two secret NSA programs. Charges filed in this interval so McCain is not responsible.

Now, I'm really happy. The only drama left after that is whether the board, and the chairman, are fired before or after the outcome of the trial. And, if the NYT doesn't plead guilty but fights the indictment, then we get the pleasure of watching the NYT spend $50 million each year in legal costs.

Finally, after sacking Pinch and the rest of the Board, the newly constituted Board sells the remnants of the company to Rupert Murdoch.

That, my friend, is a great story. That, my friend, is what I'd like to see.

Pinch at his best:

Maybe the liberal editors and friends thought they could be communists and keep all of their paychecks.
