The Occasional Observer

Don't forget, this was the story that blared beneath the Drudge siren last December.

Here's how it was reported back then.

Apparently, the reason of "why now?", a question I asked in the comments of the previous thread, is answered here.

I guess the NY Times is that beholden to the kook fringe. Else how to explain running a story that could impact who becomes President, when it knows it doesn't have the goods. Times honcho Keller knows he doesn't have the goods, or this story would have been run back in December. Yet he's running it now because he's scared that...wait for it...The New Republic might accuse him of being "soft of Republicans?"

The TNR loonies can now push around the Old Gray Lady? How the mighty have fallen.

This is, let us not forget, the same New Republic that gave us Scott Thomas Beauchamp.

UPDATE:

Is the Times backing away from supporting the story? See here.
