My grandparents used to say that a leopard doesn't change it's spots and a zebra doesn't change it's stripes. The New York Times doesn't change either; John McCain was a fool to ever trust the indorsement of the NYT! They were setting him up for this (or another) hit piece. They deliberately sat on the piece that Drudge reported about the semen-stained blue dress because Bill Clinton's sex life was his private business.
Now they make up something that is so flimsy as to be nearly invisible and they think the Conservative will turn on John McCain? I have news for them - the Conservatives have nearly all made up their minds one way or the other already. They will vote for him or they won't but snide, sneaky, deliberate lies will not turn those who are for him to be against him, or those who are opposed to him to vote for him, but they just might convince a few of those who were "on the fence" to jump off on his side.
If this one hadn't been "in the pipeline" they would have "invented" something. That's what the liberal media does - does anyone remember the phony story about officer evaluation reports on GWB that destroyed Dan Rather's career and credibility?
Liberals can't help it - it's what they do! They LIE!
