Mark Steyn has the best piece I have seen so far on the controversy over George W. Bush accurate description of a New York Times reporter, Major-league what?.
In a rational world the really obscene comment would be that the reporter, Adam Clymer, once wrote a glowing biography of Edward M. Kennedy in which he not only extolled Kennedy as one of the great men of history, but actually had the gall to write that Kennedy’s “achievements as a Senator have towered over his time, changing the lives of far more Americans than remember the name Mary Jo Kopechne.”
Wow. Rumors that Bush might have done a few lines of coke in his youth had reporters going nuts last year, but Ted Kennedy’s reckless behavior that resulted in the drowning death of a young woman is redeemed by his good works.
