The NY Times/McCain story

It's clear the Times is taking SERIOUS heat for this story as it looks like they (The Times people in power) ran the story before it may have been fully flushed out because The New Republic was prepared to run a story of their own about the turmoil inside the Times newsroom, where several people have recently quit in frustration at the Times' big-wigs chicken arms to let stories run that they felt should run. The New Republic story, as the Times people expected, ran today which gives color to the timing of the story being run.

If the Times wants to look good on this they better have more and they better dish it out fast, even if it has to be "leaked." I am of the view, the Times have more backing up their story than they originally reported. Whether it be more about the lobbyist problem or the possible sexual relationship McCain may have had with said lobbyist, they must have more. They must. And, McCain better watch himself if they do in fact have more. Taunting the NY Times by your trophy wife may not be the best way to go here...I'm just sayin'.
