NYT's New Rick Davis & McCain Lobbyists' Story
The sham "suspended campaign" political stunt by the McCain campaign which held a new shiny object in front of the gullible press may have gotten the eyes off of the Rick Davis lobbying stories for a few days, but the NYT has a new story today which will surely give them more reason's to attack the country's paper of record. Here's the only comment from the McCain campaign in the story:
"Mr. McCain’s spokesman, Tucker Bounds, would not discuss the senator’s night of gambling at Foxwoods, saying: “Your paper has repeatedly attempted to insinuate impropriety on the part of Senator McCain where none exists — and it reveals that your publication is desperately willing to gamble away what little credibility it still has.”"
The McCain political stunt is starting to look more like a belly flop. They tried to use it as a refibulator for the campaign as the Republican's poll numbers started to spiral and Obama's to skyrocket; to take attention off of their nightmare that is Sarah Palin while she embarrassed them in her Katie Couric CBS interview; to hopefully scrap Palin's first debate; and to try to look like he was putting "country first" and save the economy from disaster; and to take the attention off of the growing Rick Davis lobbying scandal.
Reality is looking like a kick in the bottom this morning. He was all set to spin his debate performance and how he is saving the economy, even though Mr. Keating Five is much more responsible for it, but he'll have to face the facts in that interview today as Rick Davis and his lobbyist-run presidential campaign is back in the spotlight with the Newsweek article Josh Marshall has on the TPM front page and the new NYT story.
Maybe they'll use up their next political stunt and rush that Palin kid's white wedding.
