America's foes may take comfort in what may seem to them signs of U.S. self-destruction.

-they wish! It is the left that is self-destructing and it isn't happening fast enough to suit me. President Bush and his administration appear right on schedule. He who laughs last laughs best, I wouldn't start gloating yet over this if I were them.

Their sister publication, Newsweek, has another cover story, calling for Cheney's scalp. Same story, second verse.

Their sister publication, Newsweek, has another cover story, calling for Cheney's scalp.

Publications like the Washington Post played major roles in forcing out Nixon, Sununu and Gingrich and have called for (regrettably, often with the connivance of neo-cons at The Weekly Standard) the ouster of Powell, Rumsfeld and Cheney. They attack articulate spokespersons for conservative positions by demonizing them, ridiculing their intelligence, and publishing phony facts.

Add those ploys to other devious tactics like packing courts with liberals (while obstructing conservative nominations), promoting voter fraud in close election districts (95% of the voting age population voted in the 2000 election in Philadelphia when Rendell was mayor -- a pattern repeated throughout much of the country), and supporting electoral tricks like the Torricelli maneuver (when your polls show your boy might lose -- due to ethical shortfalls, you switch candidates).

If the Rockefeller Memo had been written by a Republican instead of the Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, you can bet the Washington Post would be in the forefront calling for a congressional inquiry -- instead burying the story. Or, if a Republican had called a Democrat a Neanderthal instead of Ted Kennedy, you would hear the outcry from the Washington Post and NY Times, much as they attacked Trent Lott over the much more benign Strom Thurmond remark.

It's nice to see the New York Post blow the whistle on the Iraqi nuclear threat smear by the Washington Post.

As Edmund Burke wrote, "All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing." He also wrote, "The greater the power the more dangerous the abuse," which explains why the liberal media fight so hard to continue their near monopoly on broadcast TV.
