the previous post due to the ickiness of imaging a 60-something John McCain getting it on with a 40-something lobbyist, I have just been too busy to devote any time to the beloved blog. Shed a tear for my neglectfulness and then let's get into it.
McCain and the lobbyist chick (Vicki Iseman) have denied any hanky panky occurred. But Chuck Todd raised an interesting point last night on Olbermann, the NY Times isn't exactly the Star or even USWeekly, so is it possible that they know more than they are letting on in the article (out of good taste)? What I think Todd was getting at, is it doesn't seem that the NY Times would run something so rumor-based if they didn't have a bit more to go on than that. Who knows, only time will tell in that regard.
But my first question is this: McCain's wife is pretty freakin' hot. Now I know that she has had her problems in the past. In fact if I remember correctly, her bout with prescription drug abuse came out around the time of the 2000 election when the alleged affair also occurred. Maybe there is a link there, maybe not. Back to my question. Cindy McCain is pretty smoking hot, full-on MILF, so what the heck could 'ole Mac have been thinking if all of this is true. (Let us hope that the photo of Iseman, left, is unfortunate and not how she really looks.)
My second question is how is the GOP going to take this, true or not? This, after all, is the same party that wanted Bill Clinton's head on a platter for getting a BJ from an intern. And that was someone from their opposing party. Here you have the possibility of a potential future president not only committing adultery, but doing it with a paid political operative. Frankly, that seems to me to be a bit of a bigger problem. An affair, that is something between a husband and wife to resolve in my opinion, not something up for public discussion. But the influence peddling that could result from a lobbyist getting "jiggy" with the prez? Ooh la la.
What do you all think? Issue or non-issue? And will the Republicans protect their own?

i didn't really care that bill got a bj and i don't care if mccain had an affair. personal biz is personal biz in that regard. i feel the same way about a candidate's religious beliefs, although i'm a bit unsure of what to think about obama's church. exclusive churches (regardless of race) seem counter-productive to me. and broad, what do you think of the rumors that obama won't say the pledge?
i'm still undecided frankly and none of these particular issues will sway me.

I looked into the Obama church thing, b/c frankly that wasn't something i had heard much about. seems like something Fox news has just blown out of proportion, but judge for yourself:

so far as the pledge thing, i had heard about the whole Obama not wearing a flag pin thing, but not this either. after a brief google search, i think this too is horseshit.

No wonder Obama wont wear the flag, since his wife has never until now been proud of her country. The Repubs dont have to protect McCain. It seems even many Dems are ashamed that the left leaning New York Times has fewer ethics than a rag like the National Enquirer. I think that it is a travesty done to Repub. or Dem. When the media pulls this smut out of their butt to try and brainwash the American public in to their way of thinking. Even Obama showed class today when asked about it, and scolded the reporter.
