The Drudge Report writes:

'It would be terrific to have an article from Senator John McCain that mirrors Senator Barack Obama's piece,' NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley explained in an email late Friday to McCain's staff. 'I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written.'

In McCain's submission to the TIMES, he writes of Obama: 'I am dismayed that he never talks about winning the war - only of ending it... if we don't win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president.'

NYT's Shipley advised McCain to try again: 'I'd be pleased, though, to look at another draft.'

Don't feel too bad John, the NYT has rejected all of our Obama diatribes too.

We wish you good luck in all your endeavors.
