She later apologized to McCain who accepted the apology.
In that case, it's hard for me not to believe all this was just a planned publicity stunt for Mr. McCain.
I try not to be that cynical. McCain was in town to raise money from the Park Avenue crowd, which he did during a "meet and greet" at a hoity-toity hotel.
I tend to believe that neither Kerrey nor McCain understood the depth of hostility there is to Republicans in NYC among certain groups. To get an approximate idea, you have to think of how many Conservatives view either Clinton.
Now if they view moderate centrists like McCain etc with such hostility, how much more hostile are they towards really very conservative people like Mark Steyn or Pauline Hanson?
