New York Times Calls Bush to Task. Finally.

(headline is a clickable link.)

Many casual or non-readers of the New York Times believe it to be a 'liberal' paper. To the contrary, it has gone along with Bush in most of his follies - sometimes with a little attitude, but rarely actually poking him in the chest and asking, "what the hell are you doing?!" (Yes, there is the fingernails-on-chalkboard vitriol of people like Maureen Dowd, but editorially the paper is rarely on the front lines calling Bush and his monkey handlers on their crap.)

This editorial is a step in the right direction. (His news conference yesterday was abysmal. And that little smirk he generates - at the weirdest times - is creepy awful.)
