Big Mac Attacked: Gossiping While Rome Burns

The right is howling over the timing of this, but I have a different take. This is such a bad piece of journalism that it can’t be real. You have a unsubstantiated claim by an anonymous source that the senator might have given favors to a young woman he was possibly involved with.
You have a letter where McCain asks the FCC to vote for or against her clients. Not that he encourages them to vote one way or another, just that they make a decision…they’d been waiting two years.
This is a big deal?

My God, right now there's a woman in the hotel lobby where I am, glued to a tv, like this is the defining moment of her life. Who the hell cares? Maybe he did have an affair...they can't prove it, but so f'in what? This is a man who spent over five years in a Vietnamese prison camp and we're going to crucify him for this? Get a grip, people

The New York Times is taking a lesson from congress. Congress has decided the most important issues facing us are steroids and cheating in sports. The Times has decided a liaison that can’t be proven is the biggest issue in this election.
Meanwhile, we’re stealing part of Serbia to create a Muslim nation in the Balkans, there’s war in the middle east, Ahmadinejad is calling Israel a dirty bacteria, Chavez is threatening to cut off oil supplies to the US and energy costs are climbing at a rate of 44% a year…this can’t be serious. This has to be a joke.
Therefore, I have a theory. This is a conspiracy by Republican moderates to unite the party behind McCain…either that, or the Times has to get it’s head out of it’s ass.
