New York Times executive editor Bill Keller and colleagues are answering questions about yesterday's big McCain story here.
Apparently, many readers missed the point. Says Keller:
The point of this "Long Run" installment was that, according to people who know him well, this man who prizes his honor above all things and who appreciates the importance of appearances also has a history of being sometimes careless about the appearance of impropriety, about his reputation.
Oh, OK. So the piece was never intended to be about actual impropriety, but just about the appearance of impropriety.
