Reporter- “What would you say if I told you…that Murrow was on the Soviet payroll in 32? Murrow’s been a Communist sympathizer since the 30’s.Member of the International Workers,sponsored educational trips to Moscow… ..and on the Soviet payroll in 1932. It’s all there.”
Joe Bersheba-“You wanna know why that’s not possible? Why you’ll lose this one? Because everyone in this country… ..knows that Ed Murrow is a loyal American, he’s a patriot.”
That quote from the movie kind of sums up the recent fracas with the New York Times article about John McCain and and pretty blonde female lobbyist. Now the popular tack on the conservative is side is to attack the New York Times and there is a lot of inference in its article that could use some facts and or naked pictures of the lobbyist lady. However, I submit that this will be the thing that actually help McCain bring the right wing wackos into the fold. Embrace this and enjoy the moment!
First-they have not proven it. Second, McCain can weather it more so than Bill Clinton because of his public persona. People liked beating up on Bill about the blow job-because he had allied himself with so many really strange postions (e.g. gays in the military). I’ve always been suprised that the sympathy factor never played bigger. After all, can ANYONE picture Hillary coughing it up when required?
I did not think so. Bill was a man and had needs after all.
And McCain has run a good campaign and won fair and square. So unless there are naked pictures there-this is old news.
