I think MSNBC is making too big of a deal about this.

[MadBadger]

I mean wall to wall breaking news coverage? Really? I'm not sure this times story warrants the coverage they are giving it. It still could mean something big, but I think MSNBC is going a wee bit overboard right now.

[NMDemDist2]

1. not if it's on the NYT front page tomorrow n/t

[better tomorrow]

2. The public has a right to know...

I smell more of a skunk in this.....

[Lone_Star_Dem]

3. If they didn't they'd be accused of ignoring a major issue and enabling the R's

Damned if they do and damned if they don't. :shrug:

[MadBadger]

8. I agree with covering it, but interrupting hardball with fifteen minutes left...

and running this wall to wall coverage is a little too much IMO.

[better tomorrow]

11. Hardball

Chris Matthews got an extra 15 minutes of Hardball last night covering the Primaries when he grilled the guy over telling what Barack Obama had accomplished in the Senate. So, he deserved to have his show interrupted......you go, KO....

[Stinky The Clown]

15. I know .... ***everybody*** hates to miss even one second of Hairballz

[asdjrocky]

Interrupting Hard Ball is always ok-

And MSM goes nuts over anything with the word "sex" in it.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

20. Interrupting Hardball is a public service IMO.

:rofl:

24. CIALIS commercial right after KO break, I SWEAR!!!!!

Ok, at 8:26 PM I posted this message, joking that the news story about McCain
was really product placement for Cialis:

Then at 8:29 guess what! A friggin commercial about CIALIS came on

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. LOL!

You're either psychic or they have your house bugged. :hide:

[madokie]

4. I agree

[leftofthedial]

5. if it was one of the Dems

would it be wall to wall?

[TwilightGardener]

6. The GOP was covering this up for a long, long time. When they say

McCain's "advisors", they mean probably government officials, Senate colleagues, etc.--not just his paid staff, I'll bet. Frist, Mcconnell, the Bushies, Fred Thompson--I'll bet they all knew.

[Alexander]

7. Maybe they are, but it's hilarious to watch the RW eat their own.

[doc03]

9. WTF are you talking about ????? Coverage of

what?

[angstlessk]

10. would you complain as much if it were say...a Hillary outing??

just wonderin?

[MadBadger]

12. Do you call this a lot of complaining?

And yes, I would.

[otohara]

13. The Times Endorsed McCain

I'm confused!

[Bright Eyes]

14. Agreed.

There's much much much much much worse John McCain has done/stands for that can be reported to the people. This is just plain silly.

[MadBadger]

17. This report seems kind of underwhelming at the moment.

While it will clearly hurt, I get teh feeling of, Is this it?

[AlCzervik]

16. McCain spends his time railing against lobbyist while he may have been sleeping with one?

yes thats news, it shows who he is.

[MadBadger]

19. He may have doen that, but even KO admits, the story itself is a little underwhelming.

[AlCzervik]

21. well if it is true it does matter, if it's not true then it will go away.

[MadBadger]

22. It just feels like the story didnt equal 45 minutes of breaking news coverage by MSNBC

[AlCzervik]

23. they cover nothing for hours so this coverage is ok by me, plus i'm not watching it.

[better tomorrow]

27. just had to...

get Chris Matthews off the air. It worked.....

But, the underlying story is....it is all of a build up of McCain be a hypocrite on several issues, THIS BEING ONE OF THEM.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

18. it is "product placement" for Levitra

didn't ya know?

Just like trying to visualize Bob Dole having sex, now Grandpa McCain is doing it.

But frankly, this sounds like a bullshit story - they say seems, might, looks like.

No one caught these two in bed or anything at all.

Hanging out doesn't mean screwing around!!!

Maybe he is doing it but they don't sound like they have proof.

This story could be made up about anyone, couldn't it???

[Kahuna]

26. I think so too. I was embarrassed for Keith and all of the respectable

reporters he dragged into it to try to make it a real story. Please. :eyes:

On edit: Though I did kind of like how he linked it to Clinton. :rofl: Boy! I bet Bill is fuming right about now.

[rocktivity]

28. The New York Times owe us after that crap article

they ran on Bill and Hillary's marriage.

[madfloridian]

29. We changed to CNN and watched them tonight.

I hate that kind of stuff. I am disappointed Countdown did that.

[sarcasmo]

30. How quickly we forget what the Repukes did during Clinton/Lewinsky.
