Has McCain wagged his finger and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" yet?

no in fact all hes said is yr sliming me dudes - which is a compelling non-denial in itself.

Has McCain wagged his finger and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" yet?

Depends on what is is.

It's a vast left-wing conspiracy.

And he can't get it up far enou - wait, that's his arms, innit? Nevermind.

If the affair is true, and verifiably so, then kudos to the NYT for sitting on it until McCain had pretty much wrapped up the nomination.

apparently they were gonna run it in december but mccain lawyered up and started giving them shit

Romney must be kicking himself

l o l

But unless there's a Linda Tripp in the mix somewhere, McCain should weather this fairly easily. I mean, if he denies it and she denies it, how can anyone prove it?

John McCain is holding a press conference at 9 a.m. ET.

aka right now

hes v disappointed in the nytimes piece its not true

theyre just friends did not fuk

not particularly close saw her at events etc

"Like my illustrious predecessor Bob Dole, I could not have had sexual relations with that woman."

his demeanor is pretty impressive this morning im enjoying it

so assuming this has salience in the campaign because of the wang, which democratic candidate draws the better contrast?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

as if it wasn't known already, Clinton's campaign having serious financial troubles:

January yields debt for HRC, cash for Obama

Hillary Clinton ended January with $7.6 million in debt – not including the $5 million personal loan she gave to her campaign in the run-up to the critical Super Tuesday elections, according to financial reports released Wednesday.

She reported a cash balance of $29 million. But more than $20 million of that is money dedicated to the general election. Her personal loan accounts for more than half of the remaining approximately $9 million, leaving just about $4 million in cash raised from donors.

But even that money is illusionary when measured against the reported $7.6 million in debts.

More than $2 million of the red ink is owed to chief consultant and adviser, Mark Penn.

it mentions that these numbers obviously don't include all the money that's come in since feb. 5, but you get the picture.

"illusionary"?

not "accounted for", because that would be an accurate statement

seriously, it's kind of astonishing how poorly managed clinton's campaign has been (and by contrast how smoothly obama's has been going).

i don't think "illusionary" is a word

woops:

Main Entry:
il·lu·sion·ary
Pronunciation:
\i-ˈlü-zhə-ˌner-ē\
Function:
adjective
Date:
1866

: illusory

for all the talk about the "clinton political machine" etc, she should've had this wrapped up by now

hahaha Tracer, that passed through my mind but then I went "so not gonna go there" because I figured I'd be wrong

i think "illusionary" is a less efficient attempt to remember the actually good and correct word, "illusory" -- just cause somebody whom everyone was scared of in 1866 got it wrong doesn't mean we have to listen

illusionary sounds more awesomely cosmic

i mean why is the dictionary so hellbent on force-feeding us these storylines????

"ladies and gentlemen... never before on stage has such an extravaganza of sensory delight been presented before a paying audience... behold! the illusionary grandeur of madame majestique!!!"

ta-da!

clinton could totally plagiarise the dictionary and be all "They say Obama is a visionary? MORE LIKE ILLUSIONARY, AM I RIGHT, EL PASO?"

he like em blonde and flinty don't he

uh xp

well he already did it once before when his old model broke down

xposts

Then again, even eight years ago McCain was pretty old. At that age, he probably just likes the female company rather than actually doing anything about it (if he still can).

you don't need an erection to eat a lobbyist out
