OT Kudos to NY Times

Since I'm a frequent critic of the Times's less than objective news
reporting, I think it only fair to give them two pats on the back

for
forthrightness in one of today's editorials.

Back when Clinton's administration was being stymied by the

Republican
minority, the Times was urging fervently that the filibuster should

be
abolished. Today they acknowledged that after spending 10 years in

the
minority wilderness, they have decided they were wrong.

Second, and equally commendably, the editors forthrightly

acknowledged that
"traditionally" the filibuster has not been used against judicial

nominees.
They didn't, as some have, try to construct a far-fetched argument

that the
Republicans had frequently resorted to some kind of

"filibuster-equivalent"
conduct.

A refreshing breath of candor on both scores.

I thought Dave's post was fine, especially since he used OT.

Scotty, in case you hadn't noticed, much of the content of this list
consists of personal insults and what you call "political ****." Neither,
perhaps, belongs here, and when I begin to see a bit of restraint from
others I'll be happy to exercise like restraint.

Yes, that was a nice touch. Unfortunately, I fell asleep long before the end
of the first paragraph.
