A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, in his offices and aboard a client's corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself - instructing staff members to block the woman's access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity. When news organizations reported that Mr. McCain had written letters to government regulators on behalf of the lobbyist's clients, the former campaign associates said, some aides feared for a time that attention would fall on her involvement. 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.
This is the party of family values.... :

Hey that was Bill speech. Here a quote form anonymous but says it pretty well.
The way the republicans scandal train rolls, unless she has a penis, this should be no problem to spin. It just shows McCdirty's vitality.I would rather our politicians stay away from the telecommunications lobbyists while they are fighting for immunity from the crimes of spying on the American people. A guy may go to great lengths to keep his girlfriend out of jail

Bill O'Reilly: "I Don't Want To Go On A Lynching Party Against Michelle Obama Unless There's Evidence" Oh yes... he did. I think O'Reilly finally has gone too far and lets hope so. Like Imus he a racist who should get the boot.

Everything about this bullshit story is anonymous including the sources used by, what else, THE NEW YORK TIMES. They broke every standard of good journalism by printing this unsourced eight year old crap. They are probably under orders from bin Laden to get a Democrat elected in 2008 so that al Qaeda will know it has a friend in the White House. I was gonna post last night that the left wing fascist media will soon start the personal attacks on McCain, but I figured it wouldn't start until he officially won the nomination. I guess the NY TIMES wanted to be first after Dan Rather got the jump on them in 2004. This so called story was supposed to have happened in 2000. Guess what! Bill Clinton was in Dubai last month and Hillary wasn't. That proves Bill is having another affair. That's the kind of standards used at the NY Times when they use their newspaper to push their own agenda. Michelle Obama two days ago said this is the first time in her adult life that she is proud of her country and the Times buries that deep in her paper. Then again maybe they were right to bury that story. After all, it should hardly be considered news when a left wing Ivy League lawyer hates America. If she said she was always proud to be American the shock value alone would make that a major news story. In the weeks and months ahead look for the NY Times and other wings of the radical left wing media go after McCain for everything from the Keating 5 to his wife having a drug problem 20+ years ago. (If I know about it you can be sure the media does too.) They will likely wait until it gets closer to the election before putting that 20+ year old story on the front pages for two straight weeks. We'll also get to see McCain's legendary temper because like most good men he can handle what they say about him but won't stand still while they drag his wife through the mud. Count on one thing: Americans have watched the left wing fascists in the media trying to throw the last two elections to the Democrats. It's gonna fail again. The lies written about McCain is gonna be his ticket to the White House.

What are you talking about? O'Reilly defended that arrogant bitch. I love how the radical leftists play the race card when they can't win with facts. Bill Clinton tried it on Obama after he won South Carolina and it backfired. Hillary had most of the black voters in her camp and they bailed out on her and now Obama is getting nearly all of the black vote and he has since gone 11-0. If Bill Clinton kept his mouth shut she probably would have gotten the nomination by now. But the Clinton's don't get it, they never do. Bubba was at a rally in Texas yesterday and in so many words told the crowd that if Hillary doesn't win in Texas it's all your fault. That's why the Dems lost the last two elections. They always think it's other peoples fault. If you don't think like them or agree with what they say it's because you're not informed. That's why you have to go to left wing hate groups to get info about O'Reilly. They don't want you to watch him and form your own opinion. They want you to read their website and think they way you are told to think.

My impression since both Wallace and Kennedy were both shot while running for president is that secret service protection is provided to candidates once they announced their candidacy.
I just found out how it's normally done last night when I was trying to find out when the ten year law went into effect. Tonight on MSNBC there was a special about the rise of Obama and they said he got secret service protection much earlier than normal because soon after announcing he was running for president he started getting death threat letters. I don't think any major candidate or a candidate from a major party would ever get turned down. The 120 day and 10 year laws are very flexible. I couldn't imagine a sitting president turning down a previous president for an extension. Nor could I imagine a president turning down candidate who is getting death threats a year before the election. I don't even know if permission even comes from the president, it's probably from the head of the Secret Service. I know someone who did that job a few years back and he loved it. The only downside was sometimes long hours and a good bit of traveling.

You beat me to it, mike I watched that program as well. btw, the NYT endorsed McCain so they can't be that far left.

Oreilly should lose his job. It was a deliberate jab at Obama wife. He so two faced. If it was popular comment he be playing it up. When it gets him in trouble he double talks. He such a racist and has always been.
