...you're in trouble. These are, after all, the "journalists" who brought us the fake-but-accuate standard when "60 Minutes" got caught passing forged documents about President Bush's service in the Air National Guard.

But apparently Obama's lying is so blatant even the Grey Lady can't choke it down.  In a front-page story today, the Times acknowledges that:

In all, Mr. Obama has released at least five commercials that have been criticized as misleading or untruthful against Mr. McCain’s positions in the past two weeks. Mr. Obama drew complaints from many of the independent fact-checking groups and editorial writers who just two weeks ago were criticizing Mr. McCain for producing a large share of this year’s untruthful spots (“Pants on Fire,” the fact-checking Web site PolitiFact.com wrote of Mr. Obama’s advertisement invoking Mr. Limbaugh; “False!” FactCheck.org said of his commercial on Social Security.)

Now if only the Times would take the next step and admit that the "lies" Obama's campaign alleges John McCain has told are no such thing.  Sen. Obama did vote to extend HIV-related sex education to kindergarten; he did vote against requiring doctors in Illinois to end the practice of allowing infants to die after surviving abortions; he did consult with Franklin Raines--disgraced former head of Fannie Mae--regarding mortgage and economic policy.

McCain was telling the truth.  Obama is lying shamelessly, and then lying about his own record when McCain calls him on the facts.

I assumed the MainStream Media Partisan Press was going to get Sen. Obama's back on this no matter how ridiculous Obama's claims became.  Apparently, even the NYTimes has its limits.
