PING!
This is disgusting.
Just imagine what they could be writing about Michele, My Belle ... LOVE RUSH’S song about Michele. The intonation is there too - sound just like the sleazy Obomination.
translation....
“Michele Obama’s lack of popularity is hurting the Obama campaign.
We were hoping that if we could smear Cindy McCain, then maybe Michele could periodically be allowed to venture out from her padded cell.”
Sweet!
Yet another hand grenade for the left crusade to juggle. The blatant hypocrisy of digging for dirt on all things Republican, while ignoring the relevant associations and history of That One is building to a critical mass.
Obama’s pals at the NY Times just made Michelle fair game!
The girl’s parents should sue the NYSlimes.
Make a big deal of it, get a nice settlement.
If the reporters at the New York Times spent any time at all investigating Barack Obama, they would not have the time to be engaged in sleazy journalism tactics with 16 year old girls-——
$100 says the DBM will take the complaint letter from McCain's lawyer (click on the linked article) and turn it around to make it seem like the right is, once again, whining.
Just think, when Obamination is elected, every American will be investigated like this, information published and then, just like the Jews were isolated in Nazi Germany, so will anyone who opposed Obamination will be isolated. This is just the beginning
Mornin PJ!
I’d say this is amazing but it’s not. Every time we feel like they can’t get any lower, they do. I wouldn’t paper my birdcage with that trash. It’s worse than Pravda.
Jodi Kantor
One for ‘The List’ we are starting!

They are quite predictable, I agree. But, once again, we can see an Alinkly tactic (act to creation reaction) is beginning to work in McCain’s favor.
Talk about your target-rich environments.

Here is her WIKI page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodi_Kantor
Somebody should change it to include this Newsbuster stuff! I would, but have never done the WIKI thing.
Play their cards right and they could afford to send her to the college of their choice on Pinch’s dime. I stopped asking myself how low would the NYT stoop many, many years ago. Time to hit back.

Don’t know anything about the source but check out this article. There’s more than what I posted here.
Here are a few choice excerpts “ For a complete history of the Kantor Watch, follow our helpful blog index:
“Jodi Kantor watch” (”What has been Kantor’s answer to high culture: the brit-angst-pop band Radiohead, which appeared on the A&L cover soon after her arrival...”)
“Jodi Kantor and the Boss” (”Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium may be big news to many people, but is it truly ’one of the biggest stories in open-air entertainment since the Christians and the lions’?”)
“J.K.W., cont.” (”The Arts & Leisure section of the New York Times features a few stories that demonstrates (a) the emotional maturity of one of America’s most favored cinematic enfant terribles and (b) the general incompetence of current New York Times culture editors.”)
“Jodi Kantor red alert” (”What is a Times reader to make of this approving look at a delirious non-music, music without “anything in particular to say,” music fueled by codeine-infused cough syrup?”)
“J.K.W: The Case of the Trendy Tranny” (” The Gray Lady is now The Gray ’Lady.’”)
“Our dessert’s better” (”’We did one of the first big pieces on Usher!’”)
“Student council for grown ups” (”What might Jodi Kantor’s “global and regional strategy” be? She and Bono are hard at work on the answer.”)
’Jodi Kantor watch: Heather plays her last round of mean croquet’ (The end of the line for Jodi... or is it?).
Well, call it ’The Return of the Jodi.’ Today over at Contentions, occasioned by Kantor’s puff piece on Chelsea Clinton, a bright young Commentary editor whom I just love (and who happens to be my wife) marvels at the pointlessness of all things Jodi:
It’s hard to grasp the point of yesterday’s front page New York Times article on Chelsea Clinton by wunderkind reporter Jodi Kantor. While it’s clear that Kantor intended her piece to reveal the “real” Chelsea, she admits at the outset that the former first daughter and her parents “turned down interview requests for the article, as they have for countless others on the subject.” So, how does Kantor remedy this lack? With received wisdom and banalities, naturally. Kantor helpfully informs readers that the young Clinton has strawberry blond hair and favors tasteful pantsuits, that she graduated in 2001 from Stanford, did a stint at McKinsey, and works at a hedge fund run by a donor to various Clinton causes. That’s hard-hitting reportage.” (end of excerpt)
Apparently Jodi Kantor has made the radar before and not for her reporting skills.
