McCain slams New York Times

John McCain's presidential campaign blasted the New York Times today for an "unprecedented attack" on his wife, as both Republican and Democratic teams exchanged barbs over voter fraud allegations ahead of the November 4 election.

The paper's profile of Cindy McCain delves into the background of the millionaire beer heiress, married to the Republican Arizona senator for more than 30 years.

McCain's campaign fired back immediately, describing the profile as "gutter journalism at its worst'' and a "barrage of petty and personal attacks''.

The article noted the candidate's spouse had a role in the Keating Five savings-and-loan scandal, she "endured several miscarriages alone'' while her husband worked in Washington, and she was "caught stealing drugs from her nonprofit organization to feed her addiction to painkillers''.

The article is a "black mark on the record of a paper that was once widely respected, but is now little more than a propaganda organ for the Democratic party,'' McCain's campaign said.

"The New York Times has stooped lower than this campaign ever imagined possible in an attempt to discredit a woman whose only apparent sin is being married to the man that would oppose that paper's preferred candidate, (Democrat) Barack Obama.''

Cindy McCain, 54, is the chairwoman of Hensley & Company, Arizona's foremost beer distribution company worth an estimated tens of millions of dollars.

In a confession to Newsweek magazine she admitted drug use in the wake of the Keating scandal that rocked Washington in the late 1980s, in which she was the sole Senate spouse to be implicated.

"The pills made me feel euphoric and free,'' she wrote in an essay.

Cindy McCain has been drafted into her husband's campaign in recent weeks and was due to tour Pennsylvania by bus this weekend in a bid to stem McCain's slide in the polls against his Democratic rival.

Meanwhile Obama's campaign accused Republicans of using a false crusade against voter fraud to suppress legitimate votes.

The Obama campaign's top lawyer, Bob Bauer, accused Republicans yesterday of recklessly "plotting'' to suppress legitimate votes and to "sow confusion and harass voters and complicate the process for millions of Americans''.

Cindy McCain lawyer invokes Obama drug use - Politico.com

John Dowd, Cindy McCain's attorney, complained in a letter to New York Times executive editor Bill Keller earlier this month that the paper had scrutinized the GOP nominee's wife but not investigated matters surrounding Barack Obama including his youthful drug use.

"You have not tried to find Barack Obama's drug dealer that he wrote about in his book, Dreams of My Father," Dowd wrote in a two-page letter sent to Keller while the paper was reporting a piece about Cindy McCain.

The McCain campaign released the missive late Friday night in response to that story, to be published in the paper's Saturday edition. It's the first time anybody so closely associated with McCain has raised the issue.

Continuing the campaign's drumbeat of criticism against the Times, Dowd wrote on Oct. 1 that the paper was not covering the two candidates equally. In addition to the reference to Obama's "drug dealer," Dowd notes that the Times also has not "interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them."

After mentioning the topics, though, Dowd suggests that "none of these subjects on either side are worthy of the energy and resources of The New York Times."

Dowd is a Washington attorney at Akin Gump. He represented John McCain when the senator was investigated for his involvement in the "Keating Five" scandal in the 1980s. Initially a top fundraiser for McCain at the start of this campaign, Dowd defected to Fred Thompson last year when the Arizonan's campaign nearly ran aground. He's since come back into the fold, deployed to represent Cindy McCain to news organizations running investigative pieces.

The Saturday story, part of the newspaper's biographical "Long Run" series on the two candidates, offers a mostly negative look at Cindy McCain, reprising anecdotes about her drug abuse, miscarriages and the difficulties in her long-distance marriage to a senator.

In addition to releasing the Dowd letter, the campaign issued a lengthy statement denouncing the piece. A spokesman noted that the paper included little about Cindy McCain's extensive charitable work.

"This campaign made every effort to share personal accounts of Mrs. McCain’s good works with the paper, but apparently they were deemed unfit for publication in the New York Times," said Michael Goldfarb.

The aggressive pushback is just the latest in the campaign's ongoing war with the Times. Campaign aides have publicly claimed the paper is an arm of Obama's campaign.

Despite their criticism, McCain officials still cooperate with Times journalists and cite the paper's reporting when it's in their interest. A front-page story on Obama's ties to Bill Ayers earlier this month, for example, was the peg that Sarah Palin used to insert the '60s-era domestic terrorist into the campaign.John Dowd, Cindy McCain's attorney, complained in a letter to New York Times executive... more
