Lobbyist linked by Times to McCain sues paper
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Washington lobbyist is suing The New York Times over an article that she says gave the false impression she had an affair with Sen. John McCain in 1999.
Vicki L. Iseman filed the $27 million defamation suit in U.S. District Court in Richmond on Tuesday. It also names as defendants the Times' executive editor, its Washington bureau chief and four reporters.
The newspaper did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Iseman represented telecommunications companies before the Senate Commerce Committee, which McCain chaired. In February, as McCain was seeking the Republican presidential nomination, the Times reported that McCain aides once worried the relationship between Iseman and McCain had turned romantic.
At the time, McCain denounced the story as false. Iseman also denied it later.

How ****in sad is it that the National Enquirer is 1--more reputable, 2--more accurate, 3--worth more than the so-called, "Paper of Record"?
Oh, and in keeping with the thread...

She'd better hope for a quick ruling. The Slimes is going bankrupt.
I'd hit that with my wife watching.

I dunno. She looks like a high maintenance babe. :devious:

it was a scurrilous hit piece, and the NYT ran it just as mccain began to gather momentum. it would be poetic justice if she nailed them for deflation over the whole episode.
oh, and this was as they were ignoring the edwards affair, BTW.

I would have THOUGHT that I had already known that conservatives were capable of a debate, irrespective of the woman.
I was clearly WRONG.

Well, I certainly am not one to lessen someone's pain and agony, especially over such a hot babe as this one (high maintenance doesn't seem to strike a chord?), but I'd say the reaction that has so far been tendered has been tempered somewhat due to the fact that the woman in question is a LOBBYIST.
Gotta work the cobwebs loose before real commentary can begin.

Government aid could save U.S. newspapers, spark debate
By Robert MacMillan - Analysis
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Connecticut lawmaker Frank Nicastro sees saving the local newspaper as his duty. But others think he and his colleagues are setting a worrisome precedent for government involvement in the U.S. press.
Nicastro represents Connecticut's 79th assembly district, which includes Bristol, a city of about 61,000 people outside Hartford, the state capital. Its paper, The Bristol Press, may fold within days, along with The Herald in nearby New Britain.
That is because publisher Journal Register, in danger of being crushed under hundreds of millions of dollars of debt, says it cannot afford to keep them open anymore.
Nicastro and fellow legislators want the papers to survive, and petitioned the state government to do something about it. "The media is a vitally important part of America," he said, particularly local papers that cover news ignored by big papers and television and radio stations.
cont......
Let em fold.

Even better if her payout is the final straw for the slimes, and ensures the slide they're in ends in a granite slab.
