I used to live in Clark County, Washington, home of The Columbian.

The newspaper is just a left-wing piece of trash not to be taken seriously. The editors know Patty Murray was an idiot to compliment Osama bin Laden. They are desperately trying to defend her by trying to dismiss the justified, universal outrage at her treasonous remarks.

Ditto, I even used to deliver that rag when I was a kid in Vancouver, WA, 30 years ago. They were fascinated with the hippie side of the '70s, and they always support hyper-liberal Rat candidates, like Brian Baird, who is in Congress from their district.

They actually must feel somewhat responsible in this situation, since it was their reporter who first broke the story of Murray's blatherings. This is their attempt to "make up for it."
