Shorter New York Times
Listen John, we already pay good money for hacks like Bill Kristol to pen attack screeds against Obama. You're going to have to do better.
I particularly like this part of the e-mail:
To that end, the article would have to articulate, in concrete terms, how Senator McCain defines victory in Iraq. It would also have to lay out a clear plan for achieving victory — with troops levels, timetables and measures for compelling the Iraqis to cooperate. And it would need to describe the Senator's Afghanistan strategy, spelling out how it meshes with his Iraq plan.
You want the same kind of space we gave Obama? Give us a plan like he did, (and preferably one that you didn't just copy from him.)
