"By that logic, why hold the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards...".
Those silly pageantries of "self-gratification" are held every year, the presidential inauguration in the most powerful nation on earth only once every four years; and a presidential re-election is a rare achievment and honor. For the NYT and the rest of the MSM to begrudge President Bush his place in history and moment in time is ludicrous.
Instead, the Times should call for the cancellation of the Oscars this year in honor of the tsunami victims.
They've tried to begrudge President Bush of being able to enjoy both elections he won so why would they back off now. Their hate blinds them to reality.
