McCain Pal Iseman Files $27 Mill Suit Against New York Times
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyVicki Iseman, the lobbyist who was the subject of a February New York Times article that raised the possibility of an affair with John McCain, is now suing the paper of record for $27 million. From Hot Air:Remember that one? It blew up in the middle of the primaries, alleging that McCain staffers were convinced he'd had a "romantic" relationship with her in 2000 and that he'd admitted to acting "inappropriately," then burned white hot for two days before it fizzled from the fact that even the left was embarrassed by how shoddy it was. Now, 10 months later, safe from any campaign consequences, ...
The New York Times Taking On Water
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailySome time ago, I received an e-mail forward that read something like this: George Bush was recently on a boat with the Pope during a press conference. As they looked out over the deck, the Pope's traditionally white cap was blown off and landed some distance away on the water. The President said, "No problem," and promptly hopped over the rail, walked across the surface of the water and retrieved the hat for the Pontiff. The crowed was amazed. The next morning, splashed across the front page of the the New York Times was the headline: BUSH CAN'T SWIM. Today, I received the following: A biker ...

Times Responds to Iseman-Gate Questions
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe implications of the New York Times' quasi-bombshell of a story from last night are swirling around the political world, and The Political Machine, like the brown part of a vat of journalistic fudge-ripple. I, like many, wondered on what ethical grounds The Times published the anonymous implication of a perception of a romantic relationship. I posed my questions to the New York Times' editorial staff. More on that later. I spoke briefly with former Edwards campaign strategist Joe Trippi earlier today on an unrelated matter, and he had some interesting comments on this story. After the jump, ...
McCain Smear or Scandal?
By Liza Porteus Viana - Politics DailyJohn McCain took the podium in Ohio Thursday to deny all of the allegations included in a front-page New York Times story, which suggested he had an improper relationship - both professionally and, possibly, romantically - with a lobbyist."I'm very disappointed in the article. It's not true," McCain said with his wife Cindy by his side. He stressed his long service to this country as a member of the U.S. military and as a member of Congress. "At no time have I ever done anything that would betray the public trust.," he added, saying his decisions as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee ...
The Love Affair Is Over
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyFor several months (particularly since the implosion of Giuliani's campaign), the flagship of liberal media bias New York Times has been nearly cooing for McCain. Of course, such affection was not due to any actual affinity for McCain, but rather lust for the internal chaos and potential liberalization of the Republican party which McCain posed. Now, upon McCain's ascension as the GOP candidate, the Gray Lady's Machiavellian tryst has come to an end. McCain has just begun to take aim at liberal Democrat candidates Clinton and Obama, and in knee-jerk response, the Times has taken aim at McCain. ...
McCain Scandal Brewing?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe New York Times has posted an article, being hotly reported on MSNBC, that might have Republican presidential candidate John McCain in hot water: Early in Senator John McCain's first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers. A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, in his offices and aboard a client's corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself - instructing staff members to block the woman's access, privately warning ...
