It is too bad that many news outlets took the first five years of George W. Bush's presidency off. If they hadn't we might be led in our time of need by John Kerry and John Edwards, rather than the bumbling, tumbling, jumbling, fumbling, flops we have now.
Sour grapes on my part?
Perhaps.
However, it is good to see the mainstream press exhibit awareness of the fact that Republican leadership has been corrupt, wrong, or incompetent at a time when it needed to be a trustworthy servant of the public interest.
And it is pleasant, I admit, to see a major publication like Newsweek open up a can of whoop-ass on George "Mission Accomplished" Bush's distinguished record of failure.
Hirsh Bomb
While I'm at it I should also like to point out this piece by Paul Krugman, which explains the port fiasco by charging that the president is this time a victim of his own fearmongering.
The harvest of sown fear
Now if the press can focus their attention on one Mr. Murtha, while simultaneously calling for impeachment of the Bush administration we might turn this country around.
