If right wing hate radio is rallying around McCain..

[Virginia Dare]

they won't keep this story alive.

Time will tell, but if they're still talking about this tomorrow or the next day, they want to keep the story going.

If they're actually behind him, they'll do their best to kill it, and you do that by not talking about it anymore, find something else to distract people with.

1. I think the NYT has more up it's sleeve.

At least I hope so. This first article was an attention grabber to get everyone talking. Whatever they publish now will be pored over with a fine tooth comb. Let's hope they've got lots more.

12. I have the sense

too that there is more here. And it's going to be the affair plus the influence that's the deadly cocktail.

[butterfly77]

17. I think so too..

I believe they are waiting to see who will say what...

[fasttense]

2. Rally round adultery, who would of thunk it? n/t

[BOSSHOG]

3. Those wacky "professionals" on right wing radio

will find some way to spin this against evil liberals. The horrid grey lady (which endorsed mccain by the way,) the evil Clinton for making sex okay but dirty for politicians, Hillary for murdering Vince Foster who was about to make mccain a decent human being, Barack Obama for having a blond mother. One things for sure, your local values voters will be repeating the talking points in the next 24 hours.

Hi Virginia, how ya doing? Lots of rain here and an endless brush pile to fool with.

4. BOSSHOG my good man!

we are prepping for our second ice storm in a week. Tomorrow promises to be quite nasty here in the capital of NASTY! But spirits are light and merry, Washington does so love a good sex scandal.

:hi:

7. I've already

mowed once this season. Its 65 degrees with no freezing temps in the ten day forecast which I appreciate because our Japanese Magnolia is "fixing" to bloom. Its a beautiful tree but a freeze wipes out the blooms real fast. And I am suffering from a really bad case of spring fever, I want to plant tomatoes NOW, but still too early.

We got our own little intrigue here in Mississippi with Trent Lott and his old brother in law Dicky Scruggs. Alas no sex involved (that I know of.)

[Virginia Dare]

9. I just read about the esteemed Senator Lott..

I guess that explains why that rat jumped ship. The smell of roasting hypocrites is getting rather pungent, don't you think?

[BOSSHOG]

11. lott and barbour

hosed the state somewhat (but in a good way.) lott resigned giving up all that seniority, then barbour appointed a republican congressman with 12 years of seniority to fill lott's seat. And we have a fairly good shot of electing a democrat to the seat in November. A former Dem governor is running for the seat and he definitely has statewide appeal. Maybe there will be a sex scandal in our gubernatorial race so we can be like a mini-DC.

18. I would love to see something...

on Barbour

[rasputin1952]

5. I am sitting here listening to Rusty Limbaugh...amazingly he

is trying to say that the NYT's is trying to destroy McCain...but not a peep about his ramblings over the last few weeks...he's got some kind of gas besides air in that EIB room...:eyes:

You'd think he'd be happy that they actually agreed w/him.

[Virginia Dare]

8. I guess he's upset that the NYT was pissing on his parade..

is there a bigger sanctimonious prick than Rushy? I doubt it.

[rasputin1952]

14. He's saying that it is the NYT's that is trying to "sink the R

candidate"...I am wondering what he's been trying to do other than tear the GOP apart as far as McCain...:wtf:

The insanity is incredible!

Now he's saying he's getting "a flu", so he might not be "hearing things correctly or thinking right"...anything to make sure he doesn't look like the idiot he is, next it will be that his hemmorhoids are bugging him, so he can't be held accountable for what he comes up with...:eyes:

[Virginia Dare]

16. Did that flu come out of a bottle?

one marked "Oxycontin" perhaps?...:eyes:

[0007]

6. .....when is Larry Craig and Mark Foley gonna come into play?

10. Hate Radio Wants To Kill This Story...And Not For The Sex

Looking at Ms. Iserman's client list, many of her clients also own radio and broadcast properties. They don't like a public discussion of how they used whatever means possible to pass "deregulation" that allows the Clear Channels and other major players that have all but destroyed the industry. They need to tread lightly as digging too deep here could be embarassing to Rushbo's bosses and also piss off a powerful member of a committee they'll need when they come crawling for a bail-out or for more dereg.

[librechik]

13. good point. I thought was just cuz Rushbo hates the Times more

than he hates St. McCain.

[KharmaTrain]

15. When Its The Sex, It's Not The Sex...

Look at how they're quick to label it all about sex...not about the influence peddling. This fire burns to close to home for the hate radio crowd...they'd rather you talk about Michelle Obama hating America.

:hi:
