St. John vs. The Politico
St. John (R-Media) denies ever having spoken to the New York Times about spiking the impending "lobbyist scandal" that Drudge pimped this morning.
The Politico, on the other hand, says they called the New York Times and McCain's story isn't exactly "straight talk." According to The Politico he's lying. That's what I'm getting at, here.
Here is The Politico's take:
At a press conference in Detroit, McCain defended his record of integrity, while confirming that his staff has been in contact with the newspaper, according to The Associated Press.
But, McCain said, "I have not been in talks with The New York Times."
However, Politico has confirmed that McCain himself had one conversation with Times Executive Editor Bill Keller, in which the senator urged him not to go with the story.
Emphasis added.
Remember St. John: It's not the crime so much as it is the coverup. Although, in this case, I'm hoping we have a little bit of both.
Drudge says that the NY Times story that started all this is slated to run on Friday.
I. Can't. Wait.

History may be repeating itself.
