I don't recall the Seattle PI giving a pass to another Senator suffering from Foot-in-Mouth Disease......
"Sen. Trent Lott had the guts to raise an important question about the popularity of Strom Thurman in 1948 in some parts of the America."
You got to understand that the PI is the same newspaper that gave an editorial recommendation to Congressman Jay Inslee, when the Seattle Times and the Bellvue Eastside Journal both endorsed his opponent. The PI came out and defended McDermott, when he became a poster boy for those who want to kill Americans.
An interesting poll fact that has people's panties in a bunch, it that the majority of people in Seattle oppose war with Iraqu, but that the majority of the people in the rest of the state favor war with Iragu.
Seattle and the PI are out of touch with the rest of the state and with much of American.
