George W. Bush's instinctive tendency to react against any idea suggested by the libs at the NYT.

Good policy!

that may mean the Times story was a bit of fiendishly clever reverse psychology on Raines' part to maneuver the President into un-burnishing his environmental credentials. But I doubt it.

You and me both, pal.

As the author notes, the NY Times really made Limbaugh look like a fool. The fact that he would buy the spin that Raines put on the story so utterly and completely has got to be embarrassing for him.

This article was an excellent look at the motivations of the Raines and the Times and was a great read.

Achieved through the repeated, vigorous application of Scotch to the affected area.

Interesting article (Mickey usually gets it right IMO) and a good link in his P.P.S. too.

Heaven knows I have bashed GWB for enough things, but this particular one seemed much less substantive than the others. GWB is right on this one, Drudge and Rush are in the penalty box.

Drudge takes the bait and Rush follows.

And so did many Freepers. Just goes to show that we should NEVER depend on the media to form our opinions. The report was posted on FR for review, but some on here preferred to pile on with Rush and Drudge rather than do their homework until Sullivan saved the day by ACTUALLY reading the danged thing! God Bless Andrew Sullivan!
