NYT flunks McSame in basic essay assignment

A great day for English teachers and anyone who is literate. The New York Times has rejected McSame's effort at writing an essay for its op-ed page:

In an e-mail to the McCain campaign, Opinion Page Editor David Shipley said he could not accept the piece as written, but would be “pleased, though, to look at another draft.”

“Let me suggest an approach,” he wrote. “The Obama piece worked for me because it offered new information (it appeared before his speech); while Senator Obama discussed Senator McCain, he also went into detail about his own plans. It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece.”

No problem! Same topic, but different focus!
