McCain Camp to NYT: Investigate Obama's past drug use

[soccermomforobama]

Cindy McCain's lawyer, John Dowd, in a letter complaining of the Times's coverage of Cindy McCian, complained that the Times hasn't spent enough time covering Obama's youthful drug use and other issues:

It is worth noting that you have not employed your investigative assets looking into Michelle Obama. You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father. Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them. Thus, there is a terrific lack of balance here.

In fact, the Times, like other outfits, has chased this, and one of the strangest investigative pieces of the cycle reported something that many readers of Dreams for my Father suspected: Obama had, if anything, overstated the drug use in his book.

The campaign also dropped Cindy's tax returns, highlighting her millions in income, last night.

The McSame camp are a bunch of scurrilous weasels. Strike that - actual weasels show many signs of bravery.

The Republicans spewing this crap should really just don the white robes and be done with it.

6. Pathetic.

Cindy McCain's ass would have landed in jail over her drug theft if she wasn't rich and well connected.

Fuck you, Cindy. Fuck you, John.

7. His press availability makes it less salient

When will those RW loons get that their refusal to be interviewed only fuels media curiosity, when transparency puts it to sleep. Obama's been savvy about this from the getgo. David Brooks observed as much in a column last week, calling Obama among the most socially perceptive politicians of his generation. Obama's beat the presses every time with his disclosures. There's simply nothing personally salient left to report about him, so media's left to focus on his ideas. Brilliant man, brilliant campaign.

The man just seems more confused and rattled by the day.
