Yes this is all over the news this am, wonder why it wasn't in the original news summary. NYT slimes McCain with no proof, but holds off actually informing voters when it counts.

Late breaking news: 200,000-700,000 Serbs demonstrating in Belgrade to keep Kosovo non-independence.

"Balkans STILL Balkanized" I guess.

Seriously it's a big deal.

setting fire to facade of US embassy in Belgrade. Entering it throwing furniture out.

Yawn. Guess it's not news.

btw we're supporting a Moslem ethnic group in Kosovo, and we get no credit for it in the Middle East. What has Al Qaeda done for the Albanians?

Jon Taplin has some interesting background info regarding McCain's relationship with telecom lobbyists in general at http://jtaplin.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/mccain-lobbyist-problem/.

Why is the NYT hell-bent on proving every wingnut criticism of itself true?

The NYT will handle this gaffe in the only appropriate way.

By firing Dan Rather.

Having read the article, I found little slime. Instead, it recounts McClain's troubling inability to refrain from unprofessional relationships with lobbyists. Something he himself has admitted to.
