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.

I’m going to have a heart attack and DIE from that surprise.
Gay sex and crack is simply not of interest to the NYT managers ~ unless they are in on it of course.
Check my posts—I’m not a McCain fan, and won’t vote for him. That said, this “story” is poorly sourced, and is probably not true. Add this one to the equally unsourced Obama smear that’s brewing, and I see Hillary-prints all over it. What a surprise: SHE is the only one currently un-smeared.
The thing is, even if we don’t like McCain, there is NO reason for us to support a smear like this from the NYT.
Somewhere next to the NYT's coverage of John Kerry's self-inflicted Purple Heart wounds and his lies about war crimes in Vietnam.
What a disgusting little wimp!
I wont vote for this spineless POS sorry folks. The GOP needs to dump him and get someone else fast. There ain't no other way.
Your tagline is quite apropos with regard to this thread.
good point, you would think the clinton operatives would be pushing that.
Vote hillary she has sex with the same mistresses as her husband.
I have no doubt that there is other McCain dirt out there, but I would hope that if the scandals are published or aired by major news organizations, they’d at least be properly sourced first. Right not, this is more “rumor” than fact.
Lemming,
Rush is a capitalist that is in it for the money.. If he feels that he can make more money by fighting Obama or Clinton for the next 4 - 8 or 12 years then he will lead you down that path.....
You keep right on heading off that cliff...
Just remember if you don’t do everything in your power to stop the ascendancy of Obama then never, I repeat never complain or cry when his liberal vision for America is fulfilled for you will be an enabler of that vison...
No matter how Conservative you might think you are.
That part was added—a moderator no no.
Of course it is disgusting, but what is more disgusting are the "Principled Conservative Thumb-suckers" on this thread, reveling in the smear job.
Exactly. They don’t even say the affair happened. They just say that his aides were concerned EIGHT YEARS AGO. Talk about a non-story.
They have a complete unabridged volume on McCain.
You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet bub!
exactly... Rumor published like it is fact...
So front page tomorrow we will see the Obama, Sinclair, Limo, Crack rumor right?

What I am wondering is if they were waiting on him to come out with a denial, then start bringing out facts.
Time will tell, I guess.
That's what they do, and always have done.
It's what they do best.
At the very least I’d demand the NYT apoligize to me and my wife. To say he’s “disappointed” is strange to say the least. He says the story is a lie, no one has point blank asked him if he had sex with this women. He looks guilty as sin to me. Remember his first response last night, “I haven’t read the story”. You need to read a story to know whether or not you cheated on your wife? Then he has his lawyer make the rounds on the AM shows?!? Sorry Johnny Boy this story is just getting started.
They have a complete unabridged volume on McCain.

Hey bub, I know. The NYT and other liberal outlets have an unabridged volume on every Republican. Remember what they did to W in 2000? What with the drunk driving, cocaine and other issues, it’s a miracle he made it to the white house in one piece.
This story “broke” several months ago. McLame’s reaction? Hire Bob Bennett. The guy that defended Slick Willie. A slime ball attorney himself. It says alot.
