Douglas Chick -- TheNetworkAdministrator.comIn the mist of what seems like so many political sex scandals, I find it more than curious that The New York Times is being attack for running the John McCain sex / lobbyist scandal? Killing the messenger is a staple political response to getting caught with your “hands” in the cookie jar. If true, is this a case of being in a lobbyist’s pocket and pants? I wonder if the most successful lobbyist put out? After all, you don’t give up military secrets to frigid spies?  My questions are:

If a politician lies, should they be banded from holding any type of office, like convicted felons are to vote?

If a news organization prints false allegations that ruin people’s lives, should they be held financially accountable?

Life experience shows that all of those that proclaim their innocence in a new conference never are.

let me get this straight: "all those who proclaim their innocence" at a news conf. are guilty...and, let me add, that i think it's safe to argue that anyone who proclaims their guilt at a news conference also must be guilty (why would you confess guilt if you were innocent?) so by your reasoning, everyone who holds a news conference to proclaim themselves innocent or guilty are guilty. that logic just doesn't fly. but then i guess a worldly, sophisticated guy like you has developed his own cynical illogic as well as a deft apptitude for pushing the delete button when someone posts on your site with a challenging rebuttal to your nonsense.

Things always have to be to the extreme with people like you? I just pose a few questions, no need to go all extremist on me.

I was trying to give the NYTimes the benefit of doubt? I was waiting for the shoe to drop, but I see they have nothing. I just assumed McCains guilt based on the 9 lobbyist working his campaign. McCain used to be the biggest republican critic of lobbyist reform; I guess I misunderstood what he meant too.

also mr. douglas chick - why would you find it dismaying that the new york times would be attacked? in fact, if you had read the article (which i doubt) you could have seen it was shot full of evidentiary holes - those same flaws prompted the Times' own ombudsman to say the story was inadquately researched, howard kurtz of CNN's sunday morning show about the media also said the story was fatally flawed...in other words, on this one, mr. chick, you're on the wrong side of history.
