Mr. McCain, 71, and the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman, 40, both say they never had a romantic relationship. But to his advisers, even the appearance of a close bond with a lobbyist whose clients often had business before the Senate committee Mr. McCain led threatened the story of redemption and rectitude that defined his political identity.
It had been just a decade since an official favor for a friend with regulatory problems had nearly ended Mr. McCain’s political career by ensnaring him in the Keating Five scandal. In the years that followed, he reinvented himself as the scourge of special interests, a crusader for stricter ethics and campaign finance rules, a man of honor chastened by a brush with shame.
At least she’s pretty.
Collins;
Have you conceded 2008? Hoping for a Carter single term with a Reagan waiting in the wings to save our bacon? Or is it, sow belly?
And so begins the press campaign against McAmnesty. It’s as predictable as a troll coming by and saying something irrelevant. Not that I care much either way.
I typed the above comment when there was only one comment to this post. Am I psychic or what?
‘Cleo . . . what are you talking about? We discuss the way the press covers the stories all the time. Not just the ones that have to do with the political opposition.
It took you two whole minutes to think that thought?
‘Natch, irrelevant.
I’d do her.
Not the troll… the broad McCain is purported to have done… unless, of course, this is a dated photo.
“We discuss the way the press covers the stories all the time.”
Not without attendant prose, unless there’s an undercurrent of
agreement. instapusllianmous does it all the time. Leaves room for denial when the innuendo evolves into falsehood.
Yeah. But her neck’s getting segmented too young. It shouldn’t start getting segmented at 40.
Is there an undercurrent of agreement? I hadn’t been aware of that.
I fail to see the problem here. McAmnesty gets to yell at the mouth-breathers about the librul media, said mouth-breathers to get to pound their chests about said librul media, and everyone goes home with a lollipop. Someone somewhere makes hoots: “She rode the Straight Talk Express,” and we all get to get back to what’s really important, exactly how much Michelle Obama wants to kill America.
I’d hit it.
Oh… and Semantidouche, kindly fuck off.
Nope. I loaded the page in one tab while reading a post from another blog in another tab. I don’t refresh like a crack monkey before posting comments.
“and we all get to get back to what’s really important, exactly how much Michelle Obama wants to kill America.”
No, dumbass… she wants to kill the MOUTH-BREATHERS!
Get your memes straight.
There you go.
fine… I’ll fuck the troll too… but only if I get to treat the woman atop like a barnyard animal… I mean, if she’s a good sport n all, then I fuck the troll too.
Eh, etc. All right.
So, you figure Gail Collins will have a follow-up op-ed in the NYT?
Enoch- Seman is a man.
Dan- what is a segmented neck?
You know . . . when all of the moisturizer ceases working and it begins looking like a snake’s belly.
Oh.
I must admit I never knew we women were being that scrutinized.
I wouldn’t have noticed it, but it was part of an episode of Coupling.
It’s pretty rare, only when someone really wants an objective comparative opinion. I didn’t notice it myself.
Apparently that photo was a peak moment for her.
Not that I care one way or another, and not that anyone else cares one ay or the other, but…do not want.
Not this much aversion, though.
See, I think it’s perfectly acceptable to dog her for those eyebrows. Those are a choice.
Seman is a man? Fine. For the sake of snake-belly, I will only fuck his skull.
,” I will only fuck his skull.”
Best of luck with your flaccid root, try sucking instead.
This is good news. If that’s all they got our boy is golden. That’s kind of a relief, and that they can’t see through the many many levels of irony of what this sort of double-standard publishing threshold implies about Democrats, that’s good news too.
This story has really brought the loons on the Left out in force. Over at Balloon Juice, the crazy ass site run by the discredited former educator John Cole, they are having a field day. Of course, almost none of them have read the full story or even seem to know that the NYT has sat on the story for literally eight years.
She’s hot for an old lady
See that’s not hot. Unless you’re wanting to demystify hot or something.
It’s 3 AM and your choices are that or this.
I dunno about you, but I’m hitting Blondie like a freight train.
Well see that would be a lot demystifying. There’s a reason you can’t ask your 7-11 guy for a copy of the special PTA Moms issue.
What she reeks of really is ex-Junior League. But like they still let her hang.
Sure looks like a typical drive by smear. When you cut through all the bullshit, what do they actually have? An improper relationship of which there is actually no evidence? D’oh. Plane rides on the jets of businessmen that have already been disclosed? D’oh. Improper influence exercised with the FCC? D’oh. If McCain has already released all his correspondnce with the FCC and any of it was improper, a reputable paper might have cited the improper bits to make its case.
Seems like a pure drive by smear to me.
I want to see her ass before I make my decision. On whether or not to vote for McCain.
yours/
peter.
That’s just about the most reasonable criterion I’ve heard, Peter.
Peter, normally I would agree. In this case however, her eager willingness plus a few well timed shots, could overcome the uncertainty for me. I’m just saying…

I am going with Lewinsky. At that hour I want someone with standards as low as mine.
For those keeping score at home, this should finally put to rest the nasty rumor that Pablo and I are the same person, as there are obviously things even Pablo won’t do.
Me, not so much.
All cats are gray in the dark.
Yeah but your other senses are heightened.
That may be Alcyoneus, but I can always tell when it’s the one that’s five pounds heavier that stomps on me in the dark.
and they always wait till I’ve just fallen asleep. then… STOMP.

Too bad Clinton didn’t use that as his explanation of what happened with Lewinsky. He fell asleep. And then….CHOMP.
#21
Not real important. We’d both be facing the same direction.
Too late NY Times now that there’s just Mccain so doesn’t make any difference. Also, good for MCcain, he ‘ll get some time before November to wash out his sins. ***** media

Pah. Door #3: Go home, have a tippler full of Irish Whiskey and fall asleep watching South Park. That’s what I did last night.
‘Course, I was reacting to a death in the family and not a dichotomy of regrettable fucks, but I still think it’s the right answer.
Do we need another liar and cheat?
No the Right, and McCain, knows how it feels to be Swiftboated.
Now the Right, and McCain, knows how it feels to be Swiftboated
Wrong. The allegations against McCain aren’t true.
