Thanks for the return of Shecky G., last g-file.
Re; NYT China “pressure”: You may need some more coffee. Conservatives pride themselves on not questioning motives, but any rational person will ram his
head into the wall if he attempts to dissect NYT arguments based on merit, consistency or even other journalistic benchmarks. As you, Nordlinger, Lowry,
Sullivan, Kaus et al continue to demonstrate, the NYT’s arguments are brimming
with logical contradictions, misrepresentations, faulty logic and ad hominem
attacks.
The point is, either they are a) massively incompetent or b) hate Bush 43 like
we all hated that one kid in our old neighboorhood…with blinding, objectivity-
be-damned passion.
