I think the Inquirer's editors are kind of good-government freaks, even more than they are liberals. They have done a pretty good job in the two years I have lived in PA of fairly pointing out the slobs and cretins in both parties. Remember, the Inquirer broke the latest story on Bob Menendez that forced him to disassociate himself from his closest political bagman. I expect the paper will endorse Tom Kean, Jr. in that race. They really hammered Jim McGreevey as well. It's kinda nice to see.
I gave up on the Stinky years ago, and also got various family members to dump their subscriptions, after they criticized Republicans for "pandering to taxpayers". I kid you not.
