Good News For Us
I almost feel sorry for the NYT. A non-scandalous non-story that alleges nothing, based on “anonymous” sources? Jim Geraghty is right: Can’t they come up with anything substantial? Even TalkLeft thinks it’s sleazy — and they’re not the only liberals who aren’t impressed.
This “rumor” has been around for eight years, and if nobody has been able to substantiate it in eight years, there’s nothing to it. But my question for the NYT is this: You’ve been sitting on this since at least December. If this is such a problem, why did you endorse McCain in January?
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Move along, folks, there’s nothing to see here.
This is good news for us because it’s so transparently sleazy, and it’s already backfiring. KLo is certainly no McCain supporter, and here was her reaction to the “story”:
the Hit Piece by the NY Times prompted me to scurry over to McCain’s website, buy a few window stickers and donate $200.00.
I nearly choked on my cheeseburger when I read that. KLo with McCain stickers? So thanks, Grey Lady, for doing what is sure to get voters to rally round Johnny Mac.
It’s also good news because, well, if that’s the best they can do, McCain might not have as much trouble getting elected as some fear. Look at the scary stuff they’re digging up about McCain. It’s rather like they’re taking their strategy from Obama: No substance, just fluff. And while they’re doing that, of course, McCain will be hammering away at the Democrats on issues.
That’s not a recipe for a Democrat landslide in November, folks.
Jon Henke weighs in here. Bob Krumm is all over it, here and here (and follow the links).
Sad. Just sad.
