Why would anyone expect anything less from the NYT? It’s just a redux of the TANG story. Timed to cause the most damage to McCain, no sources going on the record, and the story is probably made up completely. What’s interesting to me is that it’s such a lame shot. You’d think that if they were going to try to damage McCain, they’d take a better shot than this.
McCain is solidifying the nomination. They waited until after he was vulnerable in the primaries. Now they are starting with the weakest of their hit pieces. They are going to save the juiciest stuff for late October.
This is just the very beginning of a flood of attacks on McCain's credibility and integrity. It's weak. It's mostly innuendo. It means almost nothing by itself. They are just starting to set the groundwork for their campaign.
Is there no repercutions for such blatant lieing an attempt to influence an election. If NYT gets away with this what will they do in the general election to get their candidate elected.
