Shocker! McCain Is Angry Over The New York Times Story
In other news, the earth revolves around the sun

For all his promises of being different than Washington insiders, McCain is just like any other politician. When the Times runs an unflattering story about him, he gets mad.

McCain officials told Politico—which was also going after the story—twice the campaign will “go to war” against the Times. How a war is fought against a newspaper is unclear, but McCain experience as a POW will no doubt help.

McCain camp is also claiming that a piece in the upcoming issue of The New Republic by Gabe Sherman pushed the Times to publish the story. TNR "can't yet confirm that," which we find unnecessarily confusing wording.

Sherman’s piece about the “the Times' foot-dragging on the McCain” article is expected to go up today. Look for our story on TNR’s story on the Times’s story in a few hours.

Oh, by the by, we just checked, and our belly button is still there.

The NYT has been notorious in the past for printing innuendo without confirmation. All papers are at war with the public because without verification or confirmation the paper is open for libel or defamation suits by "shark" lawyers. Early part of 2007 the papers were full of the story about a couple related to Wall Street, TV and Citi….whatever….but, no one would say they did. Couldn't be proved. He said, She said came out in the NYT and Reuters last October…..denial…denial….what else?
