TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- John McCain denied a romantic relationship with a female telecommunications lobbyist on Thursday and said a report by The New York Times suggesting favoritism for her clients is "not true."
"I'm very disappointed in the article. It's not true," the likely Republican presidential nominee said as his wife, Cindy, stood alongside him during a news conference called to address the matter.
McCain described the woman in question, lobbyist Vicki Iseman, as a friend.
The newspaper quoted anonymous aides as saying they had urged McCain and Iseman to stay away from each other prior to his failed presidential campaign in 2000. In its own follow-up story, The Washington Post quoted longtime aide John Weaver, who split with McCain last year, as saying he met with lobbyist Iseman and urged her to steer clear of McCain.

He wouldn’t use such harsh terms against his buddies at the NYT
Reminds people he’s served his country. This guy is vile. “I’m John McCain how dare they ask me this”.
Indeed. Poor ol' Juan McAmnesty is assuredly disappointed. He probably thought the leftist media love affair he had was going to coast him into the Oval Office. Now he's surprised to find that the long knives are out and destined for his back.
I don’t understand.
Didn’t the New York Times just endorse McCain?
Didn’t McCain brag about it in his last debate with Romney?
Oh great...not only is he old, but he’s an old goat to boot. If this was the best the Republican Party could come up with, I’ll stay home in Nov.
Truth is McCain has been in Washington a long time. I imagine we are going to find out all kinds of scandals in the near future.
What a lemon. Picked by suckers.
Where’s the NYT coverage of the Obama “Gay Sex and Crack” story?
All lobbyists claim to have “special access.”
But looks guilty? This is obviously an NYT smear job. It’s disgusting.
McCain the maverick is about to discover the set-up. His media-darlinghood is about to be revoked.
Great headline. The Weekly World News is envious.
This has been a setup from the start. Endorse the most liberal, least electable candidate from the opposing party and, when he is assured nomination, take the dagger to him.
This is just the beginning. Now that he has the nomination the MSM will continue to attack him until the election.
As Conservatives have been told in the past, and present...
'put some ice on it.' But ice action is not supported by jm.
To this article:
“Oh stop for heaven’s sakes!!”
As for McCain .. if I were innocent I would sue the very hell out of the NYT and I wouldn’t stop until I got what I wanted and soaked them for every single dime I could get out of them. Then I would put the money into a worthwhile charity. If you don’t stand up and DO something about this kind of thing it will continue. There are lots of filthy fingers around this story and it’s time someone actually took them to task for it. If McCain just makes the statements and answers a few questions then he is asking for more. Do it up big John and clear your name for your family and for this country. Otherwise.......
I'm surprised he didn't thank them for the resume enhancement story among expected Democrat cross over voters.
another vote for obama
Bill and Monica, Hill and Huma, Obama and Sinclair....must be a political sine qua non.
Pick up your toys first.
