Iseman Gets Boned

Vicki Iseman, the lobbyist who believes that an accusation of having sex with John McCain is libel per se, has come up empty-handed in her suit against the New York Times. The NYT paid nothing. Ms. Iseman and/or her attorneys have eaten a large sum of attorneys fees and costs, while Iseman's shysters were left to write a 1000-word essay for the paper entitled "Why You'd Be Fucking Nuts to Hire Us."

Of course, the Times' story never said that McCain was boning Iseman, only that several of McCain's handlers were concerned he was boning her. It was the McCain campaign which suggested the article said so, in a desperate attempt to play the liberal-media victim card. It's a shame the litigation never got to the stage where McCain was questioned under oath about his PorkBusting. But someone sure wanted that settlement wrapped up quickly.
