I don't chime in on American politics very often because I'm Canadian and because I often feel more inclined to keep my views to myself. Besides, it's not as if Parliament Hill is without blemish. Our robo-Prime Minister hardly does me proud.
In case you're just tuning in, I'm a liberal and usually a Liberal. I have on occasion voted for a New Democratic Party candidate. I have never voted for a Conservative candidate and likely never will.
That said, I have to say that I think the New York Times really sunk about as low as you can go today. Really, did they think that no one would notice that this story was conveniently released just as McCain was tying up the Republican nomination? From my (mostly) objective perspective north of the border, the New York Times looks like a joke in all of this.
By all accounts, the McCain people have reams of evidence showing that there was no inappropriate favouring of particular lobbyists. It looks to me like the Times picked on the wrong guy. He's a veteran who did some hard time in a p.o.w. camp for his country and a national newspaper thanks him by making up a bunch of nonsense and calling it journalism.
Puhleeze.
