What a surprise! Today’s editorial in the “fair and balanced” New York Times lavishes praise on Hillary Clinton and slams all Republicans but John McCain.

“We have strong disagreements with all the Republicans running for president,” the pompous Times proclaims but the “choice to be made … is an easy one (McCain).”

The paper then slams practically every other Republican candidate, being especially harsh on Giuliani, who they said was “narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man who saw no need to limit police power.”

So perhaps Times staff would prefer to step out of work to the pre-Rudy Times Square and enjoy battling muggers and pimps on their way home?
