The Article He Didn't Want You To Read
Filed under: Politik > John McCain
The New York Times has run what could be perceived as a very damaging article on John McCain.
In fact, the Republican presidential hopeful tried to get the piece killed before it even went to print!
What's the big deal about????

Its no worse than when clinton was in office! This is the best they could come up with against McCain? Im still voting for him!
McCain is going to take it ALL!!!!
Except for the whole can't be substantiated stuff, sure it's damaging. Remember folks, it's the seriousness of the charge not the actual truth.
atleast he aint a muslim!
Is Hilary paying you for all of the free advertising? I'm still lost as to what big "scandal" is invoked by the New York Times piece. If the worst piece of "gossip" you can have on him is that he supported the cause of a lobbyist who happened to be female, then I think he's doing a pretty damn good job with how he presents himself. He's still the only candidate on both sides of the political spectrum who has actually served his country, been a p.o.w., etc. Please stick to Britney. Kthnx.
I did not have sexual relationships with that woman
first!!
dang
He's scr*wed! LMAO!
What an old wrinkly fart.
It's okay even if it's true. John McCain is a decent guy.
You're a little late with this. It's been read already.
Pathetic, Perez.
FUCK THESE WHITE SUPREMACIST HONKEYS! THESE FOOLS ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND THEIR OTHER DICK SUCKIN BUDDIES!!!!

i seriously hope he pulls, and hilary can somehow beat obama.

Re: Miko –
You need anger management.
firstttttttttt
His wife looks like a washed-up, used up Mayflower Madam whore.
Perez, you forgot to mention that the sources for the article are UNNAMED and UNCONFIRMED. If you were to watch Fox News, they have been saying all morning that you cannot rely on these sources and this story. People are just trying to stir stuff up. He wanted it killed because ITS NOT TRUE! You would want to kill a story about you that was totally false and all lies too. Plus, you are a celebrity blogger, not a political blogger.
FIRST!!!
yawn…it's all a bunch of inuendo from unamed sources. This story was floated around 6 months ago. The thing McCain had a problem with was the NYT has been whispering this stuff around for months hoping to kick-up more dirt. That's what he wanted stopped. Stick to fluff you fatty.

first.
first.
He seems an even nicer person after reading the article. Some of the things he cares about I didnt know.
What is the big deal? A possible consensual adult relationship? Whatever. Grow up America.
Aww, c'mon PH. You love Hilary so this story suits you. What a load of crap it is. I predict it backfires bigtime.
Uhh… the Times is already backpedalling because its unsubstantiated and as far as anyone knows untrue.
Stop spreading political propaganda and stick to the celebs
its not true.
even a liberal democrat defended mccain saying this is bullshit
youre such a joke perez
To bad this story is * (EIGHT!!!) years old.
Way to rehash a story that they ran during the 00' elections.
What a pathetic bunch the NYTs are.
Oh, yeah, Master P, how's Hillary doing?…way to back a winner.
Unlike Obama (who is trouncing Clinton big time), McCain is not a Che supporter.
The article is trash. It might as well have been from the National Enquirer.
They need to quit making up bullsh*t.
The Times have gone downhill. They don't report "news" anymore, they just make shit up for their own agendas.
Give me a break.
Oh come on you idiot! The NY times had not one solid piece of evidence to back up these claims - NOT ONE. I don't care for McCain myself, but this is beyond ridiculous. Their unnamed source thinks….hmmm…If this was printed about a lefty liberal, you would be outraged. You are such a lap dog.
This man has been in public office for many years and this is the best "scandal" they can CREATE?
Very vague and unsubstantiated. I wouldn't even wipe my ass with the NY Times, what a joke.
Does anybody trust the Times at all anymore. This is completely biased reporting and I am a democrat. I hope they stop smear campaigns becaus ethe republicans are going to pull out all the stops against Clinton and Obama
There are so many shady politicians and lawyers. The code of ethics is a farce.
at least he isnt muslim or black. have you ever been to a black neighborhood with all the filth , crime, stupidity, drugs etc…? that is what will happen to all of america if this country is turned over to the blacks
Fuck you Perez.
Democrats are shit this year and nothing you say on this site can change that.
This fucking wrinkled PIG is NO HERO– GAMPY was a fucking prisoner of WAR for 6 YEARS! What that means is: He sucked so much at being a fucking SOLDIER that he got his ass CAUGHT– and then they spent 6 YEARS turing him into some kind of Manchurian "Straight talking" re-wired ass-raped BITCH!!!! They BROKE HIM! Is that who we want as our fucking president? Some old fucking dribbling monster who knows EXACTLY where/when he SNAPPED AND TOLD THEM EVERYTHING? MAMA'S LITTLE BABY GOT BUSTED!!!!!! Rape-talk that one you fucking bamboo-shivved crusty rat-bitch TRAITOR!!!! FUCK JOHN MCCAIN and his stupid MISTRESS!
Re: PFFT – hahaha omg thats funny
Consider the NY Times long running reputation for trashing Republican candidiates with conveniently late breaking scandal before you put alot of credibility to this story. While I am not a fan of McCain -I am sick of the NY Times and their policy and I celebrate every hint of their eminent demise.
I am a New Yorker who prefers the truth to political garbage reporting.
I cannot believe that you even put this on your site, Perez! EVERYONE involved has denied this - and the "sources"? Undependable at best! I thought you were better than this - look at the drival that's being put out about Obama - do you really believe EVERYTHING you read?
There's no story here. Everything in unsubtantiated. And I'm not even a McCain fan. I don't like him and wouldn't want him to be President. But that article is weak, weak, weak. If the New York Times wanted to, they could probably write a similar article for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and dozens of other senators and congressman, both on the state and national level. But they're not going to do that, because they do have a bit of an agenda. Unfortunately, we kind of expect politicians to be a little corrupt. But journalists should be a above the fray. Clearly, the NY times is not!
The only thing the NYT's is good for is wiping the shit off my ass.
he likes the blondes
Ummm… Perez, if you turn on the actual news instead of just reading the desperate NYT you'll see the big story of the day is why they published an 8 year-old story with no sources willing to go on record. No one else would publish such unsubstantiated gossip. They only did it because the New Republic was about to release a story about infighting at the NYT over this article. Notice no other realiable news source covered this old, old, and factually incorrect garbage.
So what he likes the company of a younger woman? Is wife is looney tunes, I don't see the big deal - the worst part of the article is that he looks fake by "standing up to special interests" while courting them all the time & accepting their favors. I little fling with chick 30 years younger? Most all of Washington has done it - come on! (Except for Larry Craig of course)
The onlt thing the NYT's is good for is wiping the crap off my ass.
shocking… to think that some people still think this is even relevant… he did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Iseman! hahahahahahaha!!!
This is all a little ridiculous. A mans sex life does not determine his capability of being a good politician. God! i hate politics so much. This is why we are stuck with a failing governing system. People vote based on stupid scandals like this instead of voting on the politic figure's platform! annoying annoying annoying!!!
I'm a democrat but would vote for McCain anyday over Hussein Obama.Go Hillary!
all you replublicans know he's going to commander in chief. that honor is going to Obama. this is just going to put him in a deeper hole!!
I just got done reading this exact article in THE TIMES, so glad to see it on here.
Re: Amber –
.
That's because FOX NEWS wrote the fucking BOOK on Faking news to destroy people via "unproven" innuendo and the fucking stupidity threshold of most republicans (like you). Keep pretending like this Depends wearing fucking CUNT wasn't (and always will be) Vietnam's bitch! He can fuck all the blonde ex-Hooters waitress "lobbying" bubble-butt whores from here to Narnia and it won't erase the fact that his ass had a fucking bamboo dildo the size of a fucking Mercury ROCKET shoved in his ass for 6 YEARS! And you know what happened next? They fucking BROKE HIM! McCain is a fucking JOKE and you stupid ASSHOLES just RALLY BEHIND HIM because your grand wizard republican overlords fucking TELL YOU TO. Just keep pretending like this shit is going to work out– WE LOVE IT!!!
Re: er9803 – hes not going!!
Obama who? I just that speech at the democratic convention
"No, people don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life"
Yet he doesn't believe that every fetus in a woman's womb has a decent shot at life. What a moron. Looks like someone would write articles that matter…instead of spinning nameless crap charges on men of integrity and values.
My question is, why did the Times hold this story so long and WHY did they endorse him knowing this! That's the real story!
Jeeez, his wife looks like a stephord wife in steroids!!!! yuck!
Re: GRAMPA CUNT GOT BUSTED!! – Word!
Re: GRAMPA CUNT GOT BUSTED!! –
You have to fucking kidding me. As a person with several friends in the military and assuming you may be one yourself(which i am hoping you are because a civilian who has never been to war saying that is even more insane)….. i hope your ass gets caught. And what kind of SOLIDER are you reading celebrity gossip. Really?
THE NEW YORK TIMES SUCK!
Obama is gonna win there is no way around that. Mcain is an old man. If he wins we better have a good vice pres. cause he doesn't look like he will live much longer. VOTE OBAMA
LETS GET REAL HERE PEOPLE. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TERROR WAS AGAINST ISLAMIC FASCISTS. THE LAST THING WE NEED IS A MUSLIM PRESIDENT. OBAMA WILL TURN OVER THE COUNTRY TO OUR ENEMIES, AL QUEDA AND HE HAS ALREADY SAID SO–HE WILL BRING THE TROOPS HOME NEXT YEAR BECAUSE A MUSLIM PRESIDENT WOULD NOT KILL FELLOW MUSLIMS. OBAMA HAS NO EXPERIENCE AND IS A DRUG ADDICTED MONKEY NOT WORTHY OF EVEN BEING A SENATOR. PLUS HE IS A BLACK. BLACKS ARE THE STUPIDEST RACE ON THE PLANET. YOU KNOW IT IS TRUE YOURSELF. THEY FUCK UP EVERYTHING THEY GET THEIR HANDS ON. THE ONLY THING BLACKS CAN DO IS SHOOT BASKETS AND RAP LIKE APES. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TURN THIS COUNTRY OVER TO THE BLACKS SO THEY CAN FUCK UP THE REST ON AMERICA. PLEASE AMERICANS COME TO YOUR SENSES AND VOTE MCCAIN IN NOV
GOLD DIGGER WIFE!!!!!!!
HEY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE ONE GO FOR THE PRESIDENT
PEACE!
UGh he is still better than Hilary or Obama!
Wasn't he in "Babe?" OINK OINK!
HAS ANYONE NOTICED HOW PUFFY HIS LEFT CHEEK IS? HE HAS A CHEEK LIKE MY HAMSTER WHEN IT IS STORING SEEDS. DO WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT STORES SEEDS IN HIS CHEEKS? PROBABLY NOT BUT HE IS STILL BETTER THAN A MUSLIM PRESIDENT
i am no where NEAR a republican. But insulting a man for being tortured while he served his country is wrong…. wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. Sick people these days. Sick.
Hi I'm #2 Shannon! I'm a fucking idiot republican! I don't care if he did it, I'm still voting for him! Because I am a douche-for-brains moron!
Re: yUUp – Actually the whore's family has money–THEY'RE BEER DISTRIBUTORS!!! No wonder all the breeders love him!
he is like 71 for christ sakes-by the time he would be elected he would be 72. GIMME a break-a 72 year old man running our country? The time of "old wise white men" is O-V-E-R.
it isnt like that stupid monkey obama isnt doing things much worse. t is just that he hasnt been investigated yet. he is an admitted drug dealer, he screws white women, and is a dirty n1gger
stick to celeb gossip perez. you need to be more informed before you go posting about politics. sadly, some of your readers will actually believe this crap.
Re: shannon – #2. Yes, it is worse than when Clinton was in office clueless… Clinton dallied with a consenting adult intern. McCain's lady IS A LOBBYIST!! This is not just about sex or a little affair. This is influence peddling.
Re: AGAINST OBAMA – That's why I'm behind Hilary! Get it togegher people - OBMAMA is a Muslim, he cannot, should not, be Preisdent of the USA! Maybe Iraq will take him. His "change" message is empty and appeals to the masses - but it isn't real
I find it highly suspicious that the NY Times has been sitting on this story for months and they decide to release it now, in the heat of the moment. I'm so sick of "News" organizations playing into shady political games and trying to discredit people to advance their opinions… which I thought you're not supposed to do as journalists.
Hit and run smear campaign? God McCain is a hypocrit. All he does is bash the other runners in his speaches and you are a fucking idiot if you think this man would be a good president!
Hey Fat Ass Mario… SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY! It's so funny how you think you are an authority on every topic, from music to movies to politics. In reality, you are nothing but a shitty blogger who got his 15 minutes of fame from drawing cum dripping from public figures mouths.
I would bet the farm that you were severely picked on in high school and this is your "evil" revenge on the world.
Listen Mary.. your 15 minutes is currently at 14:30, so enjoy it while it lasts. Because that slide down is going to be a slippery slope.
YOU KNOW SHIT ABOUT POLITICS… EVEN LESS THAN YOU KNOW ABOUT GOOD MUSIC. YOU MAY HAVE FOOLED THE MUSIC BIZ, BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE BIGGER MORONS THAN YOURSELF.
I don't care if McCain is having an affair, I didn't care what Clinton did either. I don't want McCain to be President because he said that he would be happy with a 100 year war with Iraq. Thats the real issue, we need to get away from these peoples personal lives.
Think about it…. This is THE major newspaper in the State of New York, of which Madame Hilary represents on a federal level. She is also very close friends with the Editor on the paper. The only way Hilary (and her cronies) can win an election on her own is by flinging dirt at other candidates.
Re: CHIPMUNK CHEEKS – Actually, Vietnamese Jizz is known to harden in the mouth and form crystals in the jawbone.
He should be begging NY Times to bring everything out in the open. Flexing his muscles to stop freedom of the press is no way to start a presidential run.
I think that man is so fucking hot. Is it just me???
First of all the NYT is a yellow news system, they openly endorsed a candidate which is absurd. What happened to credable news sources. Further more the NYT sent McCain questions to which he responded and NYT REFUSED to print, that seems pretty yellow/ one sided to me. This story by the way broke back in 2000 nice job NYT for rehashing old news, it's a pretty see through smear campaign.
Re: GRAMPA CUNT GOT BUSTED!! – Ummm…I'm figuring you've never attended any anger management sessions, right?
Whoopdee-doo! Who gives a piss? That crap NY Times article is not going to sway anyone who wants to vote for him anyway. He has women friends. He likes planes and vacations. When he realizes it looks bad, he pays for it. Even if any of that stuff is true.
B.O. hasn't been in office long enough to screw up enough to learn from his mistakes. That worries me more. How's B.O. going to pull the country out of Iraq & Afghanistan, an economic recession, and dependence of foreign oil and money? With more lovely speeches?
Perez you stink! Stick to tormenting doomed Hollywood fools.
Re: Dude… – Actually, several newspapers have printed this story, not just the New York Times.
The Times is a business that, like every business, needs to sell it's product. They, like NY Mag, know sex sells and sex+politics sells even better. But an above the fold gossip article??? Shameful. Perhaps PH should apply for a position at the times, then maybe I would buy that shiz for more that just the crossword.
EVEN THOUGH MCCAIN IS NOT MY FIRST CHOICE, THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD VOTE FOR A BLACK FOR PRESIDENT. BLACKS CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT, SO WHY WOULD WE WANT TO TURN THE KEYS OF THE COUNTRY OVER TO THEM. THAT WOULD BE A DISASTER. IMAGINE JESSE JACKSON, ANITA HILL AND BIN LADEN AS CO-PRESIDENTS.
Re: obama lama – An embryo is not a person. It has no rights. And being pro-choice doesn't mean pro abortion, it means giving women the decision to do with their uterus whatever the fuck they want with it. It's not your decision to make.
and why is he holding her arm? Too conservative to make out like Al and Tipper did?
Re: CHIPMUNK CHEEKS – he had skin cancer moron…geez pick up a newspaper
And perez supports the party that are communist in reality, love thugs like Fidel Castro and his regime and Che Guevera. Perez, there is a reason why the first generation of Cubans that fled to the US are overwhelmingly Republican and reject the Dems. Get a clue and quit spreading PROPAGANDA
First - PEREZ - GET THIS POL SHIZ OFF THIS WEBSITE. Second - It's a amaturish schmere once again from the NY Times - Where's Dan Rather when you need some crap….
Go McCain!
His wife is frickin' scary lookin!!! If I was him, I'd go elsewhere….
