Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, February 21, 2008

During his 2000 presidential campaign, John McCain was confronted by staffers who believed he was having a romantic relationship with a female lobbyist and took steps to intervene, according to the New York Times. Both McCain and the woman, Vicki Iseman, deny a relationship, and McCain calls the reporting "gutter politics."

In 2000?

When did Viagra come out?


I see a blue dress in McBane's future.

McCain may have increased his bonafides with the Conservatives by having the NYTimes go after his flimsy old thing.

This story, I mean.


But Mitt Romney's head is starting to bobble.


Ho-hum nuthin' new here...move along....

Why am I thinking of Golden Earring's "Long Blond Animal?" Am I gonna go to hell now?

Viagra was approved by the FDA on March 27, 1998.

NYT should be ashamed, The Star has better sourced stories and written. I had to read this thing several times (Ha, does that say something about my reading skills)... Anyway, it rambles on, switching from topic to topic. Not many real sources. They are going to have to come up with something better than than this if they want to hurt him.

This is a weird story. If all the Times had was a non-sexual relationship between McCain and a thirtysomething lobbyist, I have trouble believing the story runs at all.

Joshua Marshall's read of the story is interesting:

talkingpointsmemo.com

If that old coot can get it up for a lobbyist.... more power to him.

What does his illigitimate black baby think of it?

McCain's arms may be short but they aren't too short to embrace friends of his latest young blond flame. As he gets older and older his trophies get younger and younger. Breath taking is the only word that comes to mind when you gaze upon that steely, patriotic, principled, gray continence.

Such integrity, such a pretty young blond.

..Such an idiot to take the NY Times as a serious news source anymore.

This was a totally pathetic story that alludes to...something, but states nor proves anything. It's like the editor had to publish it just to justify all the time spent and money used by the reporters to uncover basically nothing that wasn't already known 8 years ago. The Gay Old Lady is a crippled ship sinking even lower in the ocean of partisanship. MSNBC has already sunk to the bottom.

bwhahahahaha too fucking funny. You should tell that to JeffJ. Bet that would make His day.

I'm no McCain fan however screwing around is no big deal in my book. If hes doin it with a man or boy, NOW THATS ENTERTAINMENT!!!

But everyday man and woman sex?;.......duly noted.

Nice to see he still had lead in the pencil back then.

Whats even more disgusting is John McCain voted to convict during Bill Clinton's Impeachment trial. Amazing simply amazing.

Larry Mohr

I didn't realize that McCain cheated on his first wife, the mother of his kids, with Cindy McCain before they married. She had raised his kids while he was a POW, surviving a serious auto accident that left her partially disabled, and hid this fact from him while he was a POW because she was afraid it would hurt his morale.

Given that history, it's hard to take McCain seriously when he denies an affair here.

I think it's fucking funny Zap that I have always signed My comments ever since I got onto the Drudge Retort scene. RCADE never had a problem before for Me doing it up until 2 months ago. I have always signed My work wether here or elsewhere. It was how I was brought up. If You write something type something always sign it ALWAYS. it's called taking Pride in ones work Maybe I fucked up coming back here. It sure seems to be the case. Thanks My Friend.

Correction: If people keep doing it, I will start dumping them. It's like not writing IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS TOO HARD TO READ. I discourage that too.

Or the extra bytes raise heck with the server.

I updated the moderation policy page to reflect this discussion: "Users who post comments should follow these rules of netiquette: Don't end your comments with a signature or .SIG file and don't write IN ALL CAPS." I've been asking people not to sign comments for a while. I'm sorry to single you out, Larry, but you do it more often than most.

Or the extra bytes raise heck with the server.

I think it's harder to skim comments with a bunch of signatures. It's a minor nit, but one I've been meaning to bring up.

Say what you want Zap...he wrote it in his book.

ANd.........
March 2007 Gerald Horne, a contributing editor of the Communist Party journal Political Affairs, ... speech at the reception of the Communist Party USA archives at the Tamiment Library at NYU. "Rethinking the History and Future of the Communist Party."
"... deploring these convictions in Hawaii was an African-American poet and journalist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis, who was certainly in the orbit of the CP if not a member and who was born in Kansas and spent a good deal of his adult life in Chicago, before decamping to Honolulu in 1948 at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson. Eventually, he befriended another family a Euro-American family that had migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago. In his best selling memoir 'Dreams of my Father', the author speaks warmly of an older black poet, he identifies simply as "Frank" as being a decisive influence in helping him to find his present identity as an African-American, a people who have been the least anticommunist and the most left-leaning of any constituency in this nation though you would never know it from reading so-called left journals of opinion."

It's called Pride. Others do it.

Hmmmmm....now we just need the LATimes to let go on the Huma story . Things are gonna get nasty.

How's huckabilly polling against Obama nationally?

If McBush slept with a telecomstitute, you righties should care, blackmail can be national security issue.

Since the accusation seems flimsy at this point and I'm sure the Times new the flack they'd catch, there must be more.

But do you want to know? You better!

Is this the story that's been talked about for some time? The one that everyone thought was about Edwards?

You have to have the governments permission for the right to fuck for money. All rights come from the government.

Prostitution should be legal. To keep it illegal promotes the spread of STDs, puts millions in criminals pockets, and heightens the physical danger to both prostitute and john.

Punishing prostitution doesn't work. It has never worked in the past. It will never work in the future. There is a saying about insanity being doing the same thing again and again and expecting different outcomes. Face the reality---legalize it---regulate it---and tax it.

Can we still sign posts as other people?

John "100 Year War" McCain looks like Boris Karloff in "The Mummy."

He has one step in the grave already. Just standing next to Obama on stage at the first Presidential debate will probably cost this dinosaur 5 points in the polls.

It'll be like Kennedy vs. Nixon on steroids. The young vigorous guy against the de facto incumbent, the guy who sold his soul to the radical right and earned nothing but contempt from them. Sad...

so if this REALLY bothers you , then my work is done. lol

And for the less fortunate libs here who have no sense of humor or who have no idea about satire and tongue in cheek and self-deprecating humor. My post of 10:41 was meant to be all of those as a form of humor.
I want to sincerely apologize as well for offending the intellectual senses of liberals on the DR. I just realized that I started the first senstence of the first paragraph with the word "and" which is not the best grammar and I know just how truely concerned you all are about the grammar of american children and how we need to be grammatical role models for the future posters of the DR.

WHAT??????????

"Hey Messiah who were you before you started posting under that user name?"

My guess is Byrdman or Byrdshit as I like to refer to him as since Byrd has suddenly mysteriously disappeared.

This mut has the same posting style ie al Jazeera and every islamist terror front media outlet he can find.

Running late, haven't read the above, but I'd guess that given his age McCains philandering days are over.

I've always managed to leave the dance with the lady that brung me... but that doesn't include fantasy, and being past 70 meself current fantasies are seriously looking for a woodie !

My guess is Byrdman

Sometimes I think this site has about 20 user accounts with 2,000 different logins for them.

What's always funny to me is how quickly posters give away their sockpuppet accounts.

Some people just aren't smart enough to keep it hidden... 'tards.

The real story here is the way the media manipulates the election process of the American people. The NYT sat on this for a for months (claiming they didn't have enough evidence).

In the process of strategically sitting on the story they praised McCain and bashed Romney. Out of nowhere McCain suddenly has a comeback as the press fawns over him.

Now after Romney drops out of the race and McCain is all but assured the nomination they decide to run with the story. This is not new to the NYT. They played the same stunt by sitting on Foley in '06 and shortly before the election spring it on the American people.

We all knew this was coming. The media had done this many times before.

The FEC and even the U.S. justice department should look into the way the press manipulates the elections in the U.S.

It is about time this practice comes to a halt. Perhaps this is the 'change' Obama is talking about. (not a chance in hell sadly). The people of the U.S. should be embarrassed at the way the media operates.

The media has become one of the biggest problems for this country. I certainly hope the FEC and the Justice Department has the balls to investigate and press charges against the tampering media.

The media is as corrupt if not more so than the politicians.

"It is about time this practice comes to a halt."

First, it certainly doesn't just happen to one side of the political spectrum and secondly, freedom of the press would guarantee them the right to publish the story when they see fit.

"I certainly hope the FEC and the Justice Department has the balls to investigate and press charges against the tampering media."

What would you have them charged with?????

I'm not necessarily approving of the NYT timing, but as I understand it they ran the story now because another news outlet was getting ready to and they didn't want to be scooped.

I've asked BLT to save some punctuation for future generations, but thus far my entreaties have fallen on deaf ears.

Rcade...witty flag!

What would you have them charged with?????

Probably nothing, but an embarassing investigation that furthers sways the mind of the public as to that they indeed are very left wing would be fine with me.


Rcade...witty flag!

Suckup Flag!

I eagerly await the made-for-TV moment when John McBush indignantly looks into the camera, jabs his finger, and says...

"I could not have sex with that woman, Vicki Iseman!"

Please - The NYT doesnt care about politics. They care about selling newspapers. The paper has a winning formula and runs with it, just as the WSJ and FOX do. Political slant is not an agenda, its targeted marketing. The Times does wait to release stories. They wait to get the most bang for the buck. You may disagree but it works. If you disagree with the practice, you disagree with the market economy. As long as the story is not fabricated I dont see any problem with it. I gaurantee they would not sit on a Hillary or Obama bombshell for political reasons. If it sells papers...they will print it. Newspapers dont seel left and right, all they see is sales.

Actually, that would be a funny SNL skit. Two Wild and Crazy Guys - 2008 Edition

I can't wait to see all the mud that gets slung this year....I know McCain is up for it. and I like his approach on this one.

.......""Since it was in The New York Times, I don't take it at face value," McCain said with a laugh.

"I could not have sex with that woman, Vicki Iseman!"

They need to stop employing graduates from Pat Robertson's law school as the White House fluffers. This de-professionalization of Washington has gone too far.

Who is a better GILF? Cindy McCain or his mistress, Vicki Iseman?

I didn't realize that McCain cheated on his first wife, the mother of his kids, with Cindy McCain before they married. She had raised his kids while he was a POW, surviving a serious auto accident that left her partially disabled, and hid this fact from him while he was a POW because she was afraid it would hurt his morale.

Given that history, it's hard to take McCain seriously when he denies an affair here.


Also if you take a look at pictures of this Vicki chick side by side with picture of Cindy McCain you will immediately notice that they could be sisters.

ie. She's definitely his type.

He's a real piece of work who's political future should have been screwed up when he became a member of the Keating 5 S&L scandal back in the day. Unfortunately, American MSM apparently has the attention span of a goldfish.

Always find this old Salon article on how McCain worked to crush a whistleblower who brought to light the fact that Cindy McCain got caught, back in the nineties, stealing percocet and vicodin from her own charity to feed her drug habit to be very revealing as to who John McCain really is.

I think that is kind of what doomed Bill. Everyone knew he had to be cheating on the Hildrbeast. McCain on the other hand definetly overshot his target with Cindy and would not have as much incentive.

Spud - Everyday Obama does seem better and better.

totally agree.

I can see a guy wanting Cindy to get all high and mellow and then doing stuff to her.

But it's not like that with Vicki. she's a tad ugly.

I'd forgotten all about his buddy-buddy relationship with Charles Keating and the Savings & Load scandal. It nearly cost McCain his Senate seat. Barely got away with his skin.

The bailout ended up costing the U.S. taxpayers $160,000,000,000 (billion).

Ah, what's a few hundred billion here and a few hundred billion there to the GOP.

Not much, well unless someone else wants to spend $6 billion insuring kids or something.

So McCain really IS a Democrat?

" Not much, well unless someone else wants to spend $6 billion insuring kids or something "

how bout the PARENTS of each and every one of your hypothetical kids spend the 6 billion....did you forget that kids have parents due to your ingrianed liberal belief in the nanny state? or is it maybe that in your ideal America, these kids don't have parents?......

" i gotta disagree here is the new Chelsea looking very f**kable"




I think satan just puked.

-So McCain really IS a Democrat?


Exactly. Had he been caught with another man, he would be a Republican.

hey i think the NYT has finally arrived at just saying " screw it" and letting it all hang out.

they know their credibility and readership is all shot to hell, so they are goin' for broke, goin down in a blaze o' propagandist glory, man.

Corky I resent that. I am a Republican and I would do Chelsea Clinton in a heartbeat, that's how much i love v***na.

FREDO

How about you Republicans refunding my contribution to the Iraq War I opposed?

The CHIPS program was to be paid for with higher cigarette taxes. Unless you're a heavy smoker, you don't have a dog in that hunt.

You GOP-ers will gladly spend a trillion on a war, or bailout the Savings & Loan mess Charles Keating (McCain's bosom buddy from Arizona) started for $160,000,000,000 (billion) and the additional hundreds of billions we spend on pharmas for seniors (thanks Bill Frist) we needen't have spent if we'd gotten the same price as a company of 40.

Ridiculous arguments the GOP makes for 'fiscal responsibility' in light of the trillions they spend on death and hot air.

Did you know we're paying $250,000,000,000 (billion) a year more to service the national debt than we were when W took office?

Quit bitching about spending money on Americans would ya?

PS The Iraqis have FREE HEALTH CARE paid for by us! 25 MILLION Iraqis!! And you bitch about American kids getting the same. HUH?

I appreciate your reply.....

my comment is: your whole ramble comes down to one singular theme, really. It is made up of 2 points

A. spending money on the Iraq War ( and related expeditures, iraqi med care, etc. ) ......is BAD

and.....

B. subsidising and continuing a corrupt healthcare system that is not based on free market economics HERE AT HOME WHERE WE SHOULD BE DOING BETTER and ALLOWING FREE MARKET TO WORK....is GOOD

whereas, I and about 51% of the country agree to the converse on both points

I am agnostic toward the whole signature thing. With the exception of "Sincerely" posts - since we can't spoof, 'sincerely' posts are the next closest thing to satirizing the opposition.

Chelsea is hot.

put her in Maxim - TODAY.

If it was bad enough for a president to be impeached over, it should be bad enough for a presidential contender to be shunned over it. Especially considering Johnny Boy was doing huge political favors for her as long as she did 'favors' for him.

Let's hear it righties! Show us your outrage for a man who would sell his office for political and financial gain, and some cooze on the side!! Demand justice!

C Sense.
here is one of the reasons why you are foolish;

your statement, when read between the lines.... "If it was bad enough for a president to be impeached over"......shows you really don't give a rat's ass that the fat idiot criminal B Clinton was poking fat girls in the oval office. AND, a separate yet also bitterly stinging point is that McCain did not boink that wierd looking Viki girl, didn't sell out, didn't do anything wrong.
You are just a New York Slimes disciple, buttlik.

Thanks please try again.

"that McCain did not boink that wierd looking Viki girl, didn't sell out, didn't do anything wrong."

How do you know that? Many, if not most of us, believed Bill when he denied the Lewinski affair too. Turned out we were wrong.

I'm willing to give McCain the benefit of the doubt on the sex thing until if and when there is more evidence. Not so sure on the lobbyist influence thing though.

if you want to be objective and consistent....
we KNOW it is a FACT that bill was diddling Monica Lewinsky...this is a fact.

all of these rumours about McCain are just rumours until we have proof.
but when we DO finally have proof......THAT IS WHEN MY MINIONS WILL ARISE FROM THEIR SLUMBER AND POUNCE UPON JOHN MCCAIN......AND MY MASTER PLAN WILL.... BE.... COMPLETED !!!!!!!!!

BWAH - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA !!!!!!

I agree with danni....(OMG). McCain is running for SCOTUS, he's fair game. As rcade's link suggests there's more to this then the nyt was willing to print.

John's denial brings this into the present, is he lying or isn't he? Otherwise it would just be vague allegations from 8 years ago. AND the keating 5 story is 19 years old.....please, talk about an OLD story!!!

I lost it when I caught it in a door that was about to slam shut on a little girl and her grandmother as she was on her way to cash her SS check and buy the little girl some food and take her to the doctor.
The other finger was lost when I tried to get a cute little puppy away from a pitbull.
but thanks for the joke anyway.

Seems like Johnny loves his platinum blondes.

Ms. Iseman looks very much like McCain's current wife.

if you want to be objective and consistent....
we KNOW it is a FACT that bill was diddling Monica Lewinsky...this is a fact.


Ya, no doubt. Why? We had a Special Prosecutor for years.

I say this needs one. Why not?

i mean, business before his committee and all from a lobbyist in the telecom industry. Private jets? I thought he was for ethics reform and against lobbying influence.

The lobbying industry must have figured out the quickest way to get to him was with a blonde.

PS

Cindy McCain looks better as a blonde than a brunette

Not to mention blondes have more fun. (wink)

A republican sex scandal that doesn't involve male pages, random men in bathroom stalls, or gay hookers?

McCain IS a maverick!

And the Times has declined to the point of being nothing more that a scandalizing rag sheet...the artical reads like something out of the "Star" with a hot huge headline - and nothing that backs it up. The artical has no facts...and actually no real issue "McCain might have done favors (but no prove that he did...and no printing of the votes that he had AGAINST what the lobbyist wanted) and no proof of any affair...just he "might have".

So why print a non-story with a big headline just to smear someone? Exactly the thing CBS and Dan Rather did to Bush.

And you guys say there is no bias in the press?

The Wash. Post and the NY Times are both on their way out because they have squandered their credibility.

When you have access to primary source material via the web it is now easy to see (for those that have their eyes open) how slanted the reporting is - and therefore not worth reading.

I don't like holding stories like that for ANY reason, but the Times and the Post still have plenty of credibility with me.

No more sigs. I guess. Practicing. Hope i remember.

Sex aside, the problem for McCain is the direct tie to a lobbyist and a piece of legislation benefiting the lobbyist's client.

Sure, most members of Congress do it, but it is the fact it's McCain that gives the story legs as a glaring example of the opposite of everything he's been publicly against in our political system for the last 15 years.

All this at a time he's morphing to the right from the center to get support in the general election from conservatives.

It rings of disingenuousness because it's McCain in particular. Facts are she was a lobbyist and he a powerful chairman of a committee who's favor she provided jets and such to win.

Did he get as close as BJ Willie?

The prisioner is dead he doesn't need flogging.

Mcflipper's problem isn't this skinny bimbo that he might or might not have got next to.

It's his puppet strings showing.

He scowled at W. over the whole waterboarding thing then voted to keep it after he paraded his POW status around to get attention.

Either he is for it or aginst it... can't be both.

I once said that i'd vote McCain over Hillary and was serious but can't now.

Moments after the John McCain affair story broke in the New York Times, people started searching Google for Huma Abedin, a Clinton aide who has long been rumored to have had a lesbian affair with the Senator.
bigheaddc.com
Just a few hours after the scandalous Sen. John McCain affair story was published in the New York Times, there was a rash of simultaneous Google searches for "Huma Abedin." As Big Head DC has covered previously, Abedin is a close campaign aide to Sen. Hillary Clinton.

It's unknown at this point why so many people apparently spontaneously googled Abedin's name at the exact same time, but there has been speculation in the past on the Internet and in a report published by a Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper about the nature of her relationship with Clinton.

Five percent of the Web traffic for the searches resulted from Atlanta, according to Google. The search engine called the results "volcanic." More people, too, were searching for her name than "Vicki Iseman," the woman mentioned in the explosive McCain New York Times story.

What is amazing here is that Matt Drudge ran this months ago and to be honest, I never even knew it existed...

Drudge, in my opinion was trying to make some stank
to manipulate the primaries because he, rush and the like didn't and still dont wnat McFlipper to get the nod from RNC.

McCain is proof of how far the country had moved back towards the center.

I'll give the McBush organization credit for making a massive, I mean massive counterattack ! Something they may have have learned from Bill's battle rooms.

Regardless of party the effort is always to discredit the opposition, with no concern for the morality, etc. of their candidate.

Down. Down. Down go the newspapers, and the NY Times in particular.

According to the Borrell Associates report, advertising revenues recently were;

1. internet 44%, $8.5 billion

2. newspapers 33%

3. yellow pages 10%

4. local TV (and radio?) 9.3%

There's something regarding a rise of the internet to 48% with revenues of $12.6 billion. How's the NY Times doing? Are NY Times revenues increasing or decreasing?

Maybe the tabloid journal can be distributed at checkout counters?
