New York Times Finally Publishes Bombshell McCain/Lobbyist Story

'NYT' Finally Publishes Bombshell McCain/Lobbyist Story

NEW YORK It had the story back in December, rumor had it, but The New York

Times did not run with it until tonight: detailing some kind of
relation****p 
between Sen. John McCain and a lobbyist more than 30 years his junior.

The rumors last December died down after other re****ts suggested that that

McCain and the unnamed woman had hired Wa****ngton lawyer/fixer Bob Bennett

to strong arm the Times. Howard Kurtz of The Wa****ngton Post re****ted then

that Bennett had dealt with specific issues raised in the re****ting. 
Whatever went down, the story never ran. Until tonight.

The relation****p from back in 2000 is part of a much longer story on 
McCain's ethic that carries multiple bylines: Jim Rutenberg, Marilyn 
Thompson, David Kirkpatrick and Stephen Labaton. Both McCain and the woman

deny the re****ts, so it is interesting what changed to make the paper
carry 
the story, quite prominently, now, at www.nytimes.com.
