Disappointing. He should have gone after The New York Times much harder. Asked what he thought their motive was for printing their front-page story today, he said he didn’t know. Poppycock. He knows. This should have been his answer:

Well, it’s evident that I’m going to be the Republican nominee and The New York Times is the communications arm of the Democratic Party, so they want to destroy me as a candidate.

The story is anonymously sourced, filled with suppositions and speculation from mysterious “aides” and others. Strange that the prissiness with which the Times approached the Gennifer Flowers story in 1992-93 did not attach to this story. Oh, wait. That was a Democratic nominee, wasn’t it?

And if you doubt that the Times is working for the Democratic Party, don’t take our word for it. Even one of the liberal editors of The New Republic says that’s the case:

Perhaps I should amend my post to say that the Times is “in the tank” for the eventual Democratic nominee.
