Smear Campaign

I was going to post about the smear campaign against John McCain, but when I got online just now found my sister, Victoria, had already posted one similar to what I was going to say. So just click on her name for the John McCain post. I will say I was disgusted with the NY Times for running the story. As it read it really had no hard facts, but a lot of innuendo. As one pundit pointed out they new another 'rag' was going to publish the story true or not and decided to publish without the full story rather than get scooped. A very sad statement on our media. Now click on Victoria's name and go to her blog.

One of the comments I heard on the way home was a reporter grilling the paper's editor as to why, if they'd been working on this story since December, did they not offer it earlier? Said Editor rambled a lot and said what amounted to nothing. The reporter ended with the observation that public reaction was outrage at an attempt to just smear McCain because it appears he will get his party's nomination.

I swear I think politicians should only be able to talk to us twice...6 months before the election and NO ADS! Or as the comedian said the other day, "You have to wonder about a person who raises and spends MILLIONS of dollars to get a job that pays $250,000 a year." :)
