[Liberty Valance]

That was an excellent article. Unusual for the WashPost.

Unusual? I'd say it was the usual Bush Bash. How quickly we forget. The WaPo's sole purpose in publishing is to elect dems. This article is no different than all their others. Bash Bush long enough and hard enough and finally, they can even get FReepers to agree with them. Divide and conquer is not new.

Excellent, but he knows that game --- he's a master.

Most of the piece was intended to convince this WH to hire on more liberal Republicans.

"finally, they can even get FReepers to agree with them.

Finally? There are people on this thread who have been against Bush since 1999. Some things never change.

Whoops, I was wrong. It was 2005.

But evidently even at that time, people weren't quite as obtuse as you were about what was being said:

To: mikemikemikecubed

Q (As translated.) Mr. Presidents and Mr. Prime Minister, I wanted to ask you what concrete actions do your governments want to lay out in order to make this partnership a reality as far as energy markets, which is a very critical issue for all of our countries -- energy markets? I also want to ask you in this security and prosperity partnership, when will you include the migratory, or immigration policy in this partnership?

And, President Bush, I wanted to ask you about your opinion about those people who are hunting migrant people along the border.

PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America. I'm for enforcing law in a rational way. That's why you got a Border Patrol, and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border.

No mention of the "The Minuteman Project" project in the Q&A, yet the reporter invents a story linking the two.

I'm just aghast that the Washington Times would be so sloppy/sarcasm.
