The NYT piece tries to accuse McCain's guy of some bad stuff while simultaneously saying McCain has been running a guilt by association thing on Raines ~

This is so freaking great! They don't seem to understand that the time compression element introduced by Palin (65 days from the time she was announced) is throwing hundreds of klieg lights on their activities. The thinning of the Great Journalist Herd of the Manhattan Plain isn't allowing them to sneak back into the herd after they release their crap payload onto the target Republican.

Man, did I die and go to heaven?

The time dilation effect has been manifesting itself as a two phase reflection plane lately ~ as fast as they pump the crap out, it gets tossed back at them.

Why are you assuming this is a troll? Just because this is her first post?...

She listed the newspaper in question as "disgusting Gray Lady". We all know the appropriate label is "Canker ridden Gray Whore".
Troll.

I jest - I couldn't tell either, but it doesn't matter - its always amusing to see what that New York rag prints.... I long for the day that they just curl up and settle into their natural destination - a meaningless paper, with a minuscule circulation, sitting in the racks alongside the 'Worker Party's Gazette'...

The FR media archivists thank you for posting this one. I would have missed it for a week, otherwise.

Likely did, as GOP controlled Congress prior to 2007.
