McCain Campaign: NYT Editors Like Blogger In Mom's Basement

August 2nd, 2008 9:25 PM

The battle between John McCain and the New York Times is getting very interesting.

According to the Associated Press, the McCain campaign has struck back at two Times editorials this week highly critical of the Arizona senator.

In fact, a campaign spokesman even went so far as to liken the editors of the Times to a blogger "sitting at home in his mother's basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons & Dragons."

Yummy, but there's more (emphasis added):

"If the shareholders of The New York Times ever wonder why the paper's ad revenue is plummeting and its share price tanking, they need look no further than the hysterical reaction of the paper's editors to any slight, real or imagined, against their preferred candidate," said McCain campaign spokesman Michael Goldfarb.

Goldfarb compared the editors to a blogger "sitting at home in his mother's basement and ranting into the ether between games of Dungeons & Dragons."

Now THAT's entertainment.
