Obama Kicks McCain-Endorsing Papers Off Plane

Why? Their newspapers endorsed McCain.
Who? NY POST, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, WASHINGTON TIMES

Lesson: Don't cross the ONE ....

Just as two TV stations have been "banned" from access because they asked tough questions, so have the reporters from three newspapers that have endorsed John McCain.

Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered
the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their
reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to vacate their coveted seats so
more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic
campaign to become the first black American president.


Some told the DRUDGE REPORT that the reporters are being ousted to bring on
documentary film-makers to record the final days; others expect to see on board
more sympathetic members of the media, including the NY TIMES' Maureen Dowd, who
once complained that she was barred from McCain's Straight Talk Express
airplane. After a week of quiet but desperate behind-the-scenes negotiations,
the reporters of the three papers heard last night that they were definitely off
for the final swing. They are already planning how to cover the final days by
flying commercial or driving from event to event.

DEVELOPING ....


Be forewarned: Don't mess with da ONE ....
