Prairie Nightside: Bringin' the Heat—the Republican Edition

Well that didn't take long, the latest example. Eighteen minutes ago, a story went up on the NYTimes website: McCain and the Lady Lobbyist. It's already viral. Breaking News on MSNBC, posted throughout the blogosphere.

NYTimes has four bylines on the story. Considering how many times the old grey lady has been excoriated for her reporting—Judith Miller, anyone?—is it any wonder they're dotting all the i's on this one.

Will the story have legs longer than the....ah, nevermind, it's too easy. At least the Lady looks better than one of DC's freshest lobbyists, Trent Lott.

Let's just say that a day is a lifetime in politics and the campaign season can spin in a heartbeat. How will the media acquit themselves on this story compared to their reporting of late? We'll be watching....

Why now...and by whom?

Finding out the "by whom" may help answer the "why now."

Interesting that this pot came to a boil right after Bush Sr endorsed McCain.

More Bush family drama?
