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.

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.

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.

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.

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

To bad this story is * (EIGHT!!!) years old.

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.
Drew says – reply to this

38

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.
fuckyou says – reply to this

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

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!!!!!!

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.
Red says – reply to this

47

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?
christine says – reply to this

48

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!

Dude... says – reply to this

51

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.
mega says – reply to this

52

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)

55

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!!!

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!!!

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.

68

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Criss Angel Is Recorded Threatening To Knock Out His Producer!

Whoa! Criss Angel is NOT messing around here!

The Luxor headlining illusionist was recorded having quite the verbal altercation with Joe Monti, one of his magic producers on Wednesday, during which Angel is heard threatening to knock him out - and now he's had a police report filed against him!

Give it a listen (above)!

Furthermore, Monti later said to authorities that he recorded the meeting because Angel has a history of bullying employees!

He explains:

“I wanted him to know how demeaning he was. I created 50-60 percent of the magic for ‘Mindfreak.' I have no reason to do anything vindictively but I draw the line on violence.”

Scary!

Violence is never the answer, folks!
