NYT suddenly concerned with ETHICS!
Excerpt from NYT July 12, 2007
"McCain Call Raises an Ethics Question
By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and MICHAEL COOPER
About 3 p.m. Tuesday, Senator John McCain ducked off the Senate floor, entered the Republican cloakroom and took out his mobile phone. Just hours after accepting the resignation of his two top campaign aides, he was making a conference call to his top fund-raisers to urge them to keep up the fight.
The call, however, may only have exacerbated an already tough week for Mr. McCain. Senate ethics rules expressly forbid lawmakers to engage in campaign activities inside Senate facilities. If Mr. McCain solicited campaign contributions on a call from government property, that would be a violation of federal criminal law as well."
No campaign activities inside Senate facilities??? Are you kidding?????? What else has been going on in there for the past 25 years? And how many life sentences do you think Harry Reid will get? At least Mcain had the decency to go to the cloakroom.
And it seems that the MMMedia is only interested in ethics when a Republican is involved. (Bill Clinton, William Jefferson... Harry Reid, anyone?).
Is it even remotely possible that the Times doesn't see the irony and hypocrisy of this article?
"America's most respected news source." BULLSHIT. I can't take much more of this.
