Things to you need to know about the John McCain screwup, culled from a conversation with my friend Anon.
- The Times pretty much screwed the pooch on this one, but it’s not what you think. Don’t picture Arthur Sulzberger and Gail Collins and Bill Keller sipping white wine on their patio overlooking Strawberry Fields. Picture a determined and obsessive investigative team who have been working on this for months and who think anyone who questions their judgment must be an ally of Darth Vader. Keller says he saw the story only last night and I think this is entirely plausible: he saw it only after the attack dogs had trampled the line editors into the linoleum.
- For a guy who likes Mr. Clean, McCain certainly likes to hang with lobbyists. But we knew that.
- The only thing you have to read on the subject is this one.
