Gray Lady to the Rescue

A couple of days ago I commented on the liberal double standard with respect to Gitmo and military tribunals.  When Bush instituted both, it was a war crime.  When Obama breaks a signature campaign promise and decides to continue both...nothing.  (Actually, this is not really evidence of a double standard for, as I insisted in that blog, the Left's objections to Bush's policies were transparently cynical bull$#!+ from the beginning.)

Well, I guess the silence got to the New York Times for in today's issue they produced an unbelievable editorial that excuses Obama's promise breaking by (are you ready?) blaming it on Bush.

Their silence was more credible.

  2. Thankfully, as their dramatically decreasing subscription numbers indicate, fewer and fewer people care what they have to say.

  3. If all goes according to plan, there will be a book coming out within the next year cataloging the voluminous examples of the double standard applied by the media and academia regarding Bush and Obama. (Not to mention the double standard re other progressive Presidents [Wilson, FDR, JFK, etc.] who "trampled" on "the rule of law" in the name of national security).
