Why I Canceled Buckley’s Column

I fired William F. Buckley, Jr. He did not take it well. When I canceled his column in the Des Moines Tribune in the 1970s he made an unpleasant fuss and misrepresented why we parted company.

Buckley and I had had a running back-and-forth about an issue of journalism ethics. I told him he had an obligation to editors who bought his syndicated column, and to readers, to disclose his family's interests in oil when he wrote about the subject.

Buckley said disclosure was necessary only if it could be shown that he had been inconsistent. I said that put the burden on editors and readers to ferret out inconsistency when all he had to do was disclose his family's interests in oil when he chose to write about the issue.

When we were at an impasse, and neither of us would bend, I canceled the column and replaced it with one by James Kilpatrick, who was equally conservative. Buckley charged that I dropped his column because I disagreed with its conservative outlook. I learned from my experience with Buckley that, with him, a disagreement is all about scoring debating points.

Kilpatrick had worked on a newspaper and was steeped in journalism ethics. At one point he took the lead in assuring that persons attacked in syndicated columns would have an opportunity to respond wherever the attacks appeared. Buckley never worked on a mainstream paper and gave me the impression that he made his own rules. Among other things, when he reprinted our exchanges he gave himself the last word and repeated in print statements made by third parties not meant for publication.

When I challenged Buckley on the issue of his family's financial interests, I naively half-expected that it would lead to a high-minded exchange on the obligations of journalists to editors and readers. I got instead a lot of personal insults and attacks on my motives. Did Buckley really believe, as he claimed, that I was out to destroy his column?

Buckley, who died February 27th, was a prolific writer who left a mark on journalism. As one who had a chance to observe his methods first-hand, the mark I saw was not all that sterling.

Why Didn’t McCain Talk to the Times?

The New York Times has taken a lot of guff for its Feb. 21 story about Senator John McCain and a female lobbyist, Vicki Iseman; even the paper's public editor, Clark Hoyt, chided it: "…if a paper is going to suggest an improper sexual affair…it owes readers more proof than The Times was able to provide."
Meanwhile, little or no criticism has been directed at Senator McCain for his part in the Times account.

Instead of meeting with Times reporters working on the story, McCain stiffed them. As the Times reported, "The senator declined repeated interview requests, beginning in December." Had he met with reporters, and denied key parts of the story as vociferously as he has since the story ran, he conceivably could have given Times editors second thoughts about it.

The story quoted a McCain aide, John Weaver, as saying that at one point he met with Iseman to warn her "to stay away from the senator." The Times wrote that "two former associates said they joined in a series of confrontations with Mr. McCain, warning him that he was risking his campaign and career."

McCain disputes that any such confrontations took place "It certainly didn't happen to me….I don't know anything about it."

The Times followed its Feb.21 story with a published broadside from McCain, who attacked the paper for a "hit -and-run smear campaign" and "gutter politics."

Much more effective than insults would have been timely denials and rebuttals to the statements delivered to the Times by McCain associates. The denials and rebuttals would have deserved to be high up in the story. If McCain's post-story statements are truthful, it would have been in his interests – and in the interests of readers – to make them to the reporters who worked on the story. For all of the ink spilled on the Times story, it remains a mystery why McCain ducked reasonable requests for a chance to tell his side of a newsworthy story.

By all means, subject the Times story to scrutiny. But let's not give McCain a pass. As a former Senate committee chairman and now a candidate for president, he has an obligation to respond to questions about his record. The parallel obligation of journalists is to ask tough questions of those who seek office and not allow themselves to be bullied.

Lobby Hottie — What if Vicky had been Victor?

Just suppose the lobbyist who buddied up to John McCain eight years ago and bragged about having an inside track with the senator happened to be a fat, balding, cigar-chomping dispenser of money and seats on the corporate jet—name of Victor, not Vicki. Would The New York Times have focused so strongly on what two former staffers said anonymously about their concerns that the senator had a too cozy relationship? I think not.

Even though being too cozy with lobbyists—as the not-so-Mr. Straight Talk campaign "reformer" has been for decades—is a legitimate subject for inquiry, the story got on page one because of a hint of s-e-x. Because the story produced no facts about a romantic relationship—which was only hinted at by unnamed aides with no proof—the Times badly over played this angle, giving the right-wing noise machine and McCain boosters a legitimate reason to complain. Now subsequent headlines, blogs and stories routinely refer to McCain's "sex scandal."

With conservative pundits calling foul and the comedians salivating at the material (well, this does give new meaning to bundling) the story may not go away soon. But whether or not McCain played footsie with Vicki is not the issue. He should be attacked for the right reasons, such as his blatant collection of lobbyists who remain top aides, while pretending to be a maverick reformer, and an incredibly close association with lobbyist-donators over the years.

One of the most important campaign stories of the season went largely overlooked. The Watchdog group Public Citizen released a study on January 28 that showed McCain far ahead of the pack in the number of lobbyist-bundlers raising money for him. McCain had 59. (Giuliani was second but had only half as many, Clinton, 20 and Obama 9.) You can read it on line at www.WhiteHouseforSale.org In total, the number of lobbyists raising money for candidates had already exceeded the number in 2004.

Fortunately, the weaker Times lead was followed up by various sources published on Alternet, Politico.com, Josh Marshall's Talking Points Memo, and in Newsweek, by Michael Isikoff. They are getting to the real meat– the hypocrisy between McCain's words and actions. Isikoff caught him in an apparent lie when McCain aides categorically denied the Times story and said that the Senator never spoke to Vicky Iseman or the communications company, Paxson, which was her client, regarding the company's bid to purchase a TV station. Isikoff produced a sworn deposition by McCain in 2002 that says just the opposite; that he had indeed spoken to "Mr. Paxson" and had pushed the FCC to act on Paxson's request. That Paxson was a campaign contributor could "possibly be an appearance of corruption" , McCain conceded, but he denied any wrongdoing.

Now the Republicans are using the original New York Times story which overly emphasized a possible sex scandal to raise money for a "maligned" McCain. The Democratic National Committee has responded. with its own pitch: In a blog letter, Howard Dean writes "McCain and the right-wing noise machine will do anything and say anything to win. Turning an ethics scandal into a fund-raising opportunity is just the start.…the facts are clear: from Keating Five to today, throughout his 25 years in Washington, John McCain has consistently taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from his special interest friends, flown on their corporate jets, and then turned around and tried to do favors for them. And he's surrounded himself with the type of people he claims to fight against." Among his lodestone of lobbyists, Dean mentions advisor Charles Black who "literally" operates out of the Straight Talk express, using the phones in his role as a lobbyist working for "corporate interests and foreign governments."

Lost in all of this was another item. War hero McCain has made points among the reasonable for assailing torture methods. How many know he flip flopped and went with the Bush administration on the recent vote? Mere torture is no match for a possible lobby hottie.

Taylor amps up criticism of Walker

State Sen. Lena Taylor went on the offensive today, accusing Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker of distorting his record on transit and the county budget surplus,  even misstating her years of service at the Capitol.

Taylor, who is challenging Walker for his job in the April 1 election, amped up the criticism at a League of Women Voters Debate, held at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, 3022 W. Wisconsin Ave.

"The county executive has a give and take relationship," she said, in the forum's final moments. "He gives the crap and he takes the credit."

She called Walker's explanation of a reduction in use of local buses "falsehoods." He had said the biggest reason for a drop in ridership was due to Milwaukee Public Schools stopping its practice of purchasing weekly bus passes for students in favor of individual tickets.

She blamed the ridership downturn on route cuts and fare hikes during Walker's nearly six-year tenure as county executive. But Taylor acknowledged that up to 50% of the ridership decline was due to the MPS move.

Taylor charged Walker with "flat-out lies," for claiming credit for the county's $6 million 2007 surplus. Though she didn't give details at the debate, she has credited the surplus to the County Board because Walker vetoed the entire '07 budget that included health care savings.

Walker said his strategy of threatening layoffs of county employees resulted in union concessions that delivered the savings.

Taylor also called out Walker when he mistakenly said she'd been the state Senate five years; she actually has served there three years. Walker later said he meant to say she'd been in the Legislature five years, the tally of her time in the Assembly and the Senate combined.

Walker stuck mostly to detailed recitations of his record, but at one point chided Taylor for failing to finish her first terms in the Assembly and then the Senate before running for another office.

She said he harbored ambitions to run for governor again in 2010 and wouldn't complete the four-year term he's now asking voters for as county executive. Walker ran for the GOP nomination for governor in 2005, but dropped out citing fund raising problems.

Neither Walker nor Taylor directly answered a question about whether they would, if elected, complete the four-year county executive term they're seeking.

On other issues:

• Walker repeated his opposition to increasing sales taxes for parks and transit. Taylor said she'd try to find budget savings and lure more state and federal aid. But she said it was not realistic to rule out a tax increase.
• Taylor blamed Walker for security and staffing problems at the House of Correction and downtown work-release center. Walker said judges needed to be more careful about who they sentence to work release.
• Taylor chided Walker for halting an in-house investigation of lucrative county pension "buybacks." He didn't address the point at the debate, but has denied a role in the county Pension Board's decision to stop the probe.

Walker said he had improved the Pension Board through reforms aimed at excluding those with conflicts of interest from serving.
