Oh geez... now on Fox news alert!!

[rbmillerjr]

“I predict backlash on the NYSlines for this
...unsubstitated claim
...unobjective timing of the innuendo story”

In the morning I take a typing class (yikes)

[mystery-ak]

Fox News alert on this now....Bennet to appear on Hannity and Colmes

[KansasGirl]

Foxnews Alert!! Not kidding!

[TornadoAlley3]

ooohhhh, Alan Colmes just said “potentially explosive allegations against McCain” :)

[keepitreal]

Check Google news. Affair and lobbyist are being used in the headlines.

[Richbee]

I predict that McCain KO’s the Times before moring Breakfast, and it’s finished.

[Just mythoughts]

Why would McCain have to hire Bob Bennett for nothing? I remember the first time I ever saw Bob Bennett on tv he was asking questions about the KEATING boys.

1999?

Big deal.

Clintonwas still wiping stuff off the Oval Office rug in 1999.

The real story is why did they hold off on this until after the Republican primaries.

[El Gato]

We have a country in big trouble, can’t any of these turkeys keep it in their pants and pay attention to business?

For some of them, such "perks" are why they got into politics in the first place. Even many of the Vietnam era peaceniks were really in it for the Free Love.

Not surprising if McCain had an affair. He betrayed his first wife.

Cindy is not somebody who would make a good First Lady. She has no problem to have an affair with a married man with a sick wife, she had drug problems - possibly she has overcome it, she embezzled and received special treatment, etc. Laura Bush is far superior to her.

[counterpunch]

All the GOP can really do at this point is have an intervention and tell the candidate that he must step aside unless he wants to torpedo the entire party, and then have a brokered convention.

[tear gas]

McCain is releasing a statement. IT IS NOT COMPLETELY TRUE. NONE OF IT IS COMPLETELY TRUE.

I knew it wouldn't stand up.

[conservativeinferno]

Maybe this hit piece will make McCain fight these liberal dirt-bags! &$%& the NY TIMES.

[keepitreal]

What does “completely” mean?

[RDTF]

lol - that was way funnier than some of the ridiculous judgemental crap on this thread

[cgk]

They are positively breathless. I think whoever this is talking now is saying that someone was going to do a hit piece on the NYT for not printing this sooner?

[conservativeinferno]

On a non-related note, she is HOT!! Where was I?

[Richbee]

Words just WORDS!

The NYT could not validate the story, and IMO, they still can’t.

They need to SELL, SELL SELL their rag.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Why do some “conservatives” want one of the two far left
wing NE liberals, that were the first pick of the MSM?

“Rudy” and “Mitt” were given about 40 of the 60 minutes
in the first debate!
