The Media - D.C. lobbyist sues Times over McCain affair story
I'm not a fan of frivilous lawsuits.
I don't think this is one of them.
I think the New York Times went over the top in an effort to discredit John McCain during the election cycle.

I found this at LongIslandBusinessNews.com:
"Washington lobbyist Vicki L. Iseman has filed a $27 million defamation lawsuit against The New York Times for a February article about Iseman and her relationship with Sen. John McCain.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Richmond on Tuesday, alleges the article falsely communicated that Iseman and McCain had an illicit 'romantic' relationship in 1999 when he was chair of the Senate Commerce Committee and she was a lobbyist representing clients before Congress.
The suit also names the executive editor of the Times, its Washington bureau chief and four reporters who wrote the story as defendants"
