I was just kidding vrai, and of all the things that are sad in my life "not getting any" is definately not one of them. In fact, I'm happier now and more content in my life than I've ever been.

He may have to answer to it at some point. The timing is really bad for him
(if this even materializes), especially since Huckabee is so 'righteous'.

Side note: The other day, I had a copy of a Newsweek on the table with a close-up picture of McCain on the cover. My son (7) thought the picture was really creepy. I had to laugh, because his reaction to the picture was so honest.

Kid's got a good eye.

McCain's voice is terrible, too. Stand him next to Obama and...well...it's just no contest.

I didn't click the link - does it remind us that Gary Hart was John McCain's best man when he married Cindy?

Oh I want to share that my opinion of the NY TImes is not mine alone...you can do a google search with "ny times inaccurate reporting" and see for yourself.

You can also check out honestreporting.com to compare the accuracy and bias of any news organization. They run analysis on all the media.
Here's the direct link for a 6 month study of the NY Times - it focuses on reporting for the Israel / Palestine issues but gives you a good idea of the flammatory language, bias and inaccuracy.

The Clinton campaign (rumor has it) has already dug up some guy who claims to have smoked crack & had gay sex with Obama.


The Clintons are the MASTERS of "Politics of Personal Destruction".

The story is on Fox now with H&C interviewing Bob Bennett - staunch Democrat, who had to investigate McCain as counsel to the Senate Ethics Committee and says it's that he was even interviewed by NY Times and told them that McCain was the most honest man in DC, and that there is no truth to their story. He knows all about the lobbyist and there is no impropriety on any level speaking finanical and romantically. His quotes weren't included in their story. It seems they even leaked their story to Drudge, who picked it up, but once he followed through on some of the story to confirm the real facts he dropped his coverage of it.
According to Fox, McCain denies it, the woman denies it, the ethics committee denies it, but the Times went with the story anyway. Think about that.

My conclusion is that the NY Times story seems a smear campaign with its' facts founded totally in innuendo. Exactly what they excel at.
