McCain camp quite touchy about being pegged as liars. Very upset at the NYT for revealing that Rick Davis got $2 million from Fannie and Freddie to help them fight off tighter regulation.

According to McCain enforcer Steve Schmidt, reporting on Davis' Fannie/Freddie connection means the Times "is not today by any standard a journalistic organization."

I guess Schmidt is pining for those 2002-2003 lickspittle days.
