[...] The media found time to investigate minute details in the personal lives of the GOP ticket, yet ignored similar stories for the Dems. Not content with rehashing Cindy McCain’s past prescription drug problems (and failing to investigate Mr. Obama’s illegal drug use), the New York Times skulked around Facebook trying to persuade 16-year-old classmates of the McCains’ youngest daughter to dish dirt on Mrs. McCain’s mothering skills.

This girl should have studied more Aristotle vice the National Enquirer in preparation for a job as a “political” correspondent.

I don’t see how anyone can say that ANYTHING about Ms. Kantor is “off the table” – given the kind of person she is, the position that she holds – and the TACTICS that she both uses and espouses!!

Has anything REALLY BAD happened to her yet after she did this?

In the words of John Lennon: “Instant Karma’s gonna get you!……It’s gonna grab you by the FACE!!”

To Spartacus,

As one who wrote one of the responses above, let’s leave Ms Kantor’s religion out of this. It is not an issue, nor should it be.

Trolling for dirt on Facebook among teenagers for hit pieces on a candidate’s spouse hits a new low. Does the National Enquirer even do that?

Probably not…until now. I’m sure they’re going to think it’s a good idea, though.

The NYT reduced to trolling for teens.

I’m sure the gambit went on in the same vein:

“… and does anybody have any, like, y’know, funny or embarrassing WTF cellphone clips of Cindy McCain, kinda AFV-ish with her face in a dumb expression …or kicking a small, annoying dog, or sumpin’? Keep it clean! (If you can!) Thanks, all~~~ ;)…”

No national security secrets to undermine, lately?

How about we find out where Jodi’s kids go to school and talk to the kids and their moms about Jodi. Why don’t go to the court house and look at her real estate records for liens, and peruse the civil records for any judgements. Hell, let’s talk to her neighbors, her old classmates, old boyfriends….

We could, but that would just be creepy.
