Now we have private citizens doing the job that journalists are supposed to be doing. I wonder if the people at the Times have enough sense to be embarassed about that.

Consider another possibility...

The NYT ran the story. Normally, they'd just spike a story
like this - "not newsworthy". If they ran it, they had a
reason to run it, and probably also had the blessing of
their DNC masters.

If the Clintons decide that they need Kerry out of the way,
the LLiberal Press will turn on Kerry. The NYT will be a
leading indicator.

In the initial stages of a Clintonian purge of Kerry, it
would be precisely what I'd expect from the NYT to run a
story that has "NYT house deniability". The NYT expressed
no biad, and said nothing negative here about Kerry. They
just printed the truth (which itself is out of character).

The NYT doesn't report news. They send messages. For
those not in the DNC Talking Points FAX Circle, the NYT
messages can be a bit obscure.

That's the second time a private citizen has had to ask a question the press was supposed to ask. But then, when people are too incompetent to do their jobs, there's always a good American to step in and do it for him.
