A sex scandal that may not be a scandal tucked inside an ethics scandal that may not be an ethics scandal tucked inside an ethics scandal that was a genuine scandal 20 years ago, and for which McCain has begged forgiveness ever since. The Paper of Record.
The media halo’s gone, Maverick. Nothing personal. Just business.
Mr. Black said Mr. McCain and Ms. Iseman were friends and nothing more. But in 1999 she began showing up so frequently in his offices and at campaign events that staff members took notice. One recalled asking, “Why is she always around?”…
In interviews, the two former associates said they joined in a series of confrontations with Mr. McCain, warning him that he was risking his campaign and career. Both said Mr. McCain acknowledged behaving inappropriately and pledged to keep his distance from Ms. Iseman. The two associates, who said they had become disillusioned with the senator, spoke independently of each other and provided details that were corroborated by others…
[McCain advisor John] Weaver added that the brief conversation [he had with Iseman] was only about “her conduct and what she allegedly had told people, which made its way back to us.” He declined to elaborate…
Mr. McCain said that the relationship was not romantic and that he never showed favoritism to Ms. Iseman or her clients. “I have never betrayed the public trust by doing anything like that,” he said. He made the statements in a call to Bill Keller, the executive editor of The New York Times, to complain about the paper’s inquiries…
In late 1999, Ms. Iseman asked Mr. McCain’s staff to send a letter to the commission to help Paxson, now Ion Media Networks, on another matter. Mr. Paxson was impatient for F.C.C. approval of a television deal, and Ms. Iseman acknowledged in an e-mail message to The Times that she had sent to Mr. McCain’s staff information for drafting a letter urging a swift decision.
Mr. McCain complied. He sent two letters to the commission, drawing a rare rebuke for interference from its chairman.
The juicy stuff’s at the end, including instances of McCain acting against the interest of Iseman’s clients. Exit question: Is this really the tack the left’s going to take against the guy who co-sponsored McCain-Feingold, and about whose “sense of honor” Russ Feingold testifies to in this very piece? That he’s unethical?
Update: Remember this? This story’s evidently been in the works for two months, and if you believe Drudge’s teaser from back then, it was initially going to accuse McCain of having let Iseman write parts of his telecom bills. How thin must that angle have been if it didn’t make the cut for an article this thin on other details?
Update: Among the various ways to get the base to rally behind Maverick, a New York Times hit piece surely must be one of the most efficient.
Update: Not only is Hannity & Colmes running with this, they’re showing photos of Iseman. Carl Cameron’s on and is saying he talked to McCain’s advisors when Drudge first scooped this in December, and that apparently TNR was threatening to run a story about the Times burying the article unless they published. I’ll cut the video; stand by.
Update: Team McCain answers:
“It is a shame that the New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign. John McCain has a 24-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or lobbyists, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.
“Americans are sick and tired of this kind of gutter politics, and there is nothing in this story to suggest that John McCain has ever violated the principles that have guided his career.”
Update: As promised, here’s the video of Cameron claiming via McCain’s campaign that TNR pressured the Times into running with it.
Link: sevenload.com
Update: Here’s video of Bob Bennett ripping the Times to shreds.
Update: TNR says it’ll have something to say tomorrow.
Update: WaPo’s more careful about not suggesting any sexual shenanigans but they don’t have any more on the ethical angle than the Times has:
Three telecom lobbyists and a former McCain aide, all of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Iseman spoke up regularly at meetings of telecom lobbyists in Washington, extolling her connections to McCain and his office. She would regularly volunteer at those meetings to be the point person for the telecom industry in dealing with McCain’s office.
Concern about Iseman’s presence around McCain at one point led to her being banned from his Senate office, according to sources close to McCain.

How are they playing this McCain affair story? This creates a lot of questions. How is it going to play out? Does make a convention substitution possible? Still have plenty of time, many things can happen. Of course they wait until after Super Tuesday to stick it to the Romneyites. The MSM really hates Mormons, I learned that much from his campaign. Unfortunately too many people wrongly hate Mormons and that makes a Romney ticket at any time in the near future a sure loser. Then you Huck who would be better than McCain nationally but too many people dislike him. Then you have damaged goods McCorpse. You will vote for amnesty and like it? Whose got money to run right by him and win? Hold the convention in a Holiday Inn with no cameras and run someone against him if we have to.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 8:35 PM
He’s our Bill Clinton! We can’t loose or win!
Kini on February 20, 2008 at 8:35 PM
Oh Golly Gee Whiz! The NYT going after McPain with scandalous allegations so early? Heck, you’d think they would have waited first until after B.O. drove the last nail into Shillary’s campaign coffin before they started to dig up the dirt. Maybe it was a slow news day at the Gray Lady and they needed something to stir things up.
pilamaye on February 20, 2008 at 8:35 PM
How about the “Mr.” McCain and the “Senator” Obama?
No bias at all.

Now we can actually say “John McCain is in bed with the lobbyists. Literally.
malan89 on February 20, 2008 at 8:38 PM
The NYT, gotta love ‘em! Thank god, the ‘Clenis’ admitted his flaws and ‘the pain’ he caused his family, or they would have surely done the same to him.
AUINSC on February 20, 2008 at 8:38 PM
So, he may have had an affair. But he may not have. And he may have acted unethically. But he may not have.
Some strong evidence you’ve got there, NYT.
amerpundit on February 20, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Since it is so early, you have to figure, what else do they have? There is plenty of time. That’s why they went so early on Rudy, because they have a wing in the NYT full of his dirt. If your trying to play Mr. Family values and Mr. Patriotic Public Servant you got to be clean. Too bad it wasn’t a Rev. Haggard like story, we’d get a mulligan on candidate selection.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 8:41 PM
Fred!
ihasurnominashun on February 20, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Did the blue dress come up front, or was their some flirting? Maybe they could get him on TV saying that he did not have sex with that woman or something.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 8:43 PM
Eight years ago is the best they can whip out their shorts, hmmm?
Um…you GO guys.
Or is this some sort of a countdown with selected ancient history releases predicated on ~ and proportional to ~ whatever Messiah/Michelle says that’s problematic or perhaps unseemly “show us the beef” interviews with supporters making, say, ABC World News Tonight? (Like an editorial bandaid? Triage, as it were.)
tree hugging sister on February 20, 2008 at 8:44 PM
But did they ask the Question on everyone’s lips… “Mr. McCain when did you stop beating your wife?”
Gwillie on February 20, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Told you so. Now it will be an article a week until November.
They flipped sooner than I thought, but probably did not like his attitude on public funding with His Highness.

I can’t wait for the New York Times to go out of business.
phronesis on February 20, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Typical…and predictable. A short time ago, the Times endorsed McCain on the GOP side…and now the gray lady’s fangs are digging into his neck.
And it’s only going to get worse.
JetBoy on February 20, 2008 at 8:48 PM
McCain did cheat on his wife! Good choice with McCain AP! Glad you picked a winner!
Betrayal, deceit, corruption and John McCain (The U.S. Veteran Dispatch)
“While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 - just a month after dumping his crippled wife and securing a divorce.“
Poptech on February 20, 2008 at 8:49 PM
His base is turning on him. His base is the MSM, they do the activist work, they get him all the free press, and they can end him. He won’t be used to getting grilled, there will be a couple of gaffes before it is all said and done.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 8:50 PM
I’ll just say it myself: Congratulations, Allah.
Allahpundit on February 20, 2008 at 8:51 PM
So the NY Times held back on this when Mitt was McCain’s opponent, but releases it when it’s clear that Obama is his opponent now. Nice.
Can we have a redo on the republican primary?
OKCubsFan on February 20, 2008 at 8:51 PM
This is one area where his constant name dropping won’t work, that’s for sure.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 8:51 PM
lol. oh my goodness, no one saw this coming, did they?
I’m shocked - shocked - that the NYT would turn on Saint John like this.

The race begins = McCain vs. Obama + NYT + WAPO + LAT + every paper in the county + ABC + NBC + CBS + PBS + MSNBC + CNN + NPR … and on and on …
darkegop on February 20, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Yes. These are the people that gave us Jason Blair. It’s their lady, Pelosi, in D.C. that says the surge has failed, days after the political benchmarks were achieved. Whatever public persona McCain and his supporters believed to be secure is about to go by the way side. There is an upside about this however. The only parts the Press can tear down is that which they have created. After they do what they can, what will be left will be the things that are really part of who McCain is. This could be good because it may make people focus on some of his better qualities, rather than the vanity of being a “Maverick,” which has always been a superficial and juvenile thing to claim as an achievement.
Weight of Glory on February 20, 2008 at 8:53 PM
True? I have no idea, but it is plausable.
McVain dumped his first wife.
The one who stood by him through his six long years as a POW and fought to bring him home.
She was in a car accident while he was gone, so she wasn’t up to snuff when he got back home and he dumped her for an Arizona mafia babe.

We so knew this was coming, hey JMac, all those years of media fawning over you are officially ovah!

In order, Allah picked Rudy, Fred, and Mitt. He’s accepted the fact that McCain is our nominee. He didn’t “pick” him.
amerpundit on February 20, 2008 at 8:53 PM
the NYT article is horseshit - a whole lot of nothing - frustrating
darkegop on February 20, 2008 at 8:55 PM
Either McCain goes down in flames, finally stripped of his saintly rainment, or we win an election. Maybe 2008 won’t be such a bad year after all.

Did NYT merge with Big Head DC?
Mark1971 on February 20, 2008 at 8:58 PM
I’m not sure what is worse - the horseshit that the NYT produces daily, or the fact that so-called GOP supporters, some of them posting on this thread, are capable of stooping just as low.
Pax americana on February 20, 2008 at 8:58 PM
What is said in this article is not important. After all who among us takes those rejects seriously. But what is important here, is how quickly the bloom fell off the rose. This will be the first of many, and not just with the NYT. Now, this would have been the case with whomever we nominated, which is why base support is so important. But McCain doesn’t have that yet. It is going to be hard to find a lot of people on the right to defend McCain, and even harder to find those willing to receive that defence.
Weight of Glory on February 20, 2008 at 9:01 PM
BTW on the ABC news boards was a story about rezko and obama what caught my eye is some hillarites were their slaming Obama for some sort of sex scandel ? Said the details were on Youtube.

NYT nukes McCain. Country rallies around McCain. McCain wins the election.
Baphomet on February 20, 2008 at 9:03 PM
McCain also shuffled up his staff quite a bit. That is rich with potential information. It is just too damn early. This is the biggest election in years considering voter turnout, they aren’t going to flub it off the bat. They are in financial trouble and need start digging, it isn’t that hard to find dirt in DC, and I really don’t think they will blow it considering the stakes.
And now McCain issued his response that doesn’t confirm nor deny. He called it a smear. You guys do know this territory, right? Still very early.
LevStrauss on February 20, 2008 at 9:03 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!
Doesn’t matter if its pure horsecrap, they’ll fling crap until something sticks, and even if it doesn’t, the media is gonna do anything it can do to derail him.
PS, Carl Cameron says TNR supposedly pressured NYT to do the piece on Dunce & Eyebrow.
doubleplusundead on February 20, 2008 at 9:04 PM
What a surprise. The liberal media are aiming low blows at the GOP candidate. As if this wasn’t going to happen anyway.
Get real. The NYT and its ilk loathe Republicans and always will do.

Bob Bennett on H&C - paraphrase- this is a hit job by the NYT. I am a Democrat who investigated John McCain for a year and half and I concluded one thing, John McCain is an honest man.

Do we have really to have a president that hasn’t been touched by dirt?
Kini on February 20, 2008 at 9:09 PM
McCain has built his entire persona as a Maverick working as a tool for the liberal media. Now the media’s useful idiot has lost his usefulness, and they are gonna devote every day to peeling away his independent support and destroying him. For the first time, the media is actually gonna treat him like a Republican…its gonna be beautiful.
doubleplusundead on February 20, 2008 at 9:10 PM
Did you actually think this wouldn’t happen? And this won’t be all. Close your eyes and picture McCain, and associate with that picture all the things that attract you to McCain as a politician. Each of those attributes will be attacked, directly, over and over and over again until Nov.
Weight of Glory on February 20, 2008 at 9:11 PM
Actually, the Washington Post’s editorial page has been pretty rough on Obama so far this year.
Big S on February 20, 2008 at 9:11 PM
NB: when ther’s dirt, potentially peronal dirt, on a Republican, the MSM can sniff it right out; on a Democrat? One must trust in the National Enquirer or Drudge.
Let there be no doubt: now that he’s the presumptive nominee, the love is gone on the part of the MSM. And the sooner John McCain realizes this, the better. I’m trusting that the conversation with Bill Keller was…illuminating.
thirtypundit on February 20, 2008 at 9:12 PM
What’s Roger Stone doing nowadays?
amerpundit on February 20, 2008 at 9:12 PM
And so all the shameless McCain-haters crawl out of the woodwork again. Anyone who looks into the details of McCain’s divorce and second marriage (which took place 7 years after he returned from Vietnam, and after separation) will learn that it’s not much different from most divorces - except to the extent that it was rather amicable and generous compared to many, and except to the extent that the period of estrangement was rather unusually complicated and extended as a result of certain well-known events. His first wife, Carol, was not pushed to the side of the road in a wheelchair and left behind, or consigned to some out of the way hospice for a sad and lonely death - after having her immediate needs taken care of as part of the divorce settlement, she went on to have a successful career, working for Nancy Reagan among others. Maybe you’re confused by the rather unhappier tales associated with other conservative heroes. I don’t know. Maybe you get too excited by joining a virtual lynch mob whenever it assembles to think clearly.
CK MacLeod on February 20, 2008 at 9:14 PM
I really don’t think so. Catalysts usually happen when something has been brewing under the surface for a while, just waiting for an event. With McCain only getting 55% in Wisconsin, and 44% in Washington state, I really don’t see a bubbling of support just waiting to be triggered into a full blown grass-roots support wave. I could be wrong, however; wouldn’t be the first time!
Weight of Glory on February 20, 2008 at 9:14 PM
If that Obama youtube clip has any credence you can bet Bubba’s goons are on it. That would by dynamite, sick, twisted, perverted dynamite. Put him on Maury.

So they’re Clintonistas, BFD. Once they have to choose between Our Lord and Savior and the Maverick, they’ll go to the Messiah.
doubleplusundead on February 20, 2008 at 9:17 PM
That’s why you’re a sucker if you play their game.
The Scorpion and the Frog is fable about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them. When asked why, the scorpion explains, “I’m a scorpion; it’s my nature.”
It’s the NYT and MSMs nature. You are going to get stung no matter what you do for them.

The NYT doesn’t have the pull to effect a negative change, but does have the pull to effect a rallying around McCain that hasn’t been able to happen despite all the endorsements he as gathered, including one from Bush SR.? How can the NYT be so weak and yet so strong at the same time?

Bad example. Patreus is a non political figure, who is a part of an incredibly respected group, the Military, and who had a lot of support with a majority of this country prior to that ad. McCain does not share in any of that, so to say that the reaction would be similar is not quite accurate.

America’s most famous newspaper is spreading unfounded rumors that John McCain cheated on his wife. Unbelievable. Does the New York Times have no shame?
SoulGlo on February 20, 2008 at 9:29 PM
heh…I’m glad you’re enjoying all of this :-P
OK, the “fall in line wing”? See, you have it all wrong. Speaking only for myself, I’ve been endorsing McCain all this time because I simply won’t fall in line. I won’t do, as some (a smaller amount day by day) conservatives “fall in line” and won’t back McCain. Supporting McCain is not abandoning conservative principles. But you won’t believe that. Fortunately, most notable conservatives out there have endorsed McCain. And for good reason. The alternative is unacceptable.
Big surprise, the liberal media wants to take down the GOP nominee. Didn’t see that coming. I don’t like to argue with other conservatives politically, but it’s conservatives who now don’t like McCain, they will be the one’s “crawling back”…and falling in line.
What else are you going to do? Vote for Obama? Not vote at all? Neither is an acceptable choice.
