Comments on: John McCain’s odd relationship with a lobbyist http://ketchupandeggs.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/john-mccains-odd-relationship-with-a-lobbyist/ News and Views from freelance journalist Jonathan Berr Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:05:43 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jack Marshall http://ketchupandeggs.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/john-mccains-odd-relationship-with-a-lobbyist/#comment-16 Jack Marshall Fri, 22 Feb 2008 04:44:32 +0000 http://ketchupandeggs.wordpress.com/?p=28#comment-16 What? What kind of journalist are you? Two anonymous aides say they "suspected' something untoward... that's a "damaging story"? Gee, when I studied journalism, we called that a "rumor." What various people "suspect" is going on isn't evidence, it isn't news, and it isn't substantial. I know former associates of Hillary Clinton who "think" she's a lesbian, and say lots of other people think so too. Is that proof? Evidence? R-U-M-O-R. Why the Times hasn't done THAT story, I have no idea. Well, maybe I have, and it has nothing to do with the fact that it's crap. When someone puts hsi or her name behind something he or she saw that involved both McCain and the lobbyist, that might support a story. This is disgraceful...CBS and Dan Rather all over again. What?
