No, but it's open for editing/additional info.

Well, I for one, believe you. Heck - I can read it for myself and know that! Seriously, about the only thing I'd use it for is lining a birdcage or fishwrap.

Are you serious? In no way, shape, or form has the Clinton camp played nice. Hillary has introduced race and sex into the election. The Democratic season, so far, has been filled with nasty politics. I am just waiting for the convention to take the same route as the 1968 Dem convention. Clinton will loose but will steal the nomination.

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.

I was watching this, too! I totally agree - the smear campaign has begun.

Holy crap - they'll have to print a retraction tomorrow under Garfield on page C-14!!!

Bill Sammon is on H & C now and saying the story is a non-story, also. And he said what a lot of us have said for awhile - that the media's love affair with McCain would end when he became the nominee. It's so transparent.

...are they reporting this as a qualification for office or...just a private matter that should be of little or no note?
