It’s one thing for Time magazine to run letters to the editor in its “Inbox” section. It’s another to endorse them. On the second page of their letters in the May 5 edition, they make a text box out of Steven T. Callan’s anti-Bush lament over the president shedding a tear for Navy Seal Michael Monsoor, who fell on a grenade to save others:

It sickens me to see a photograph of George W. Bush with a tear in his eye over an Iraq war casualty. Monsoor’s death and those of tens of thousands more did not have to happen. Bush and Dick Cheney are ultimately responsible.

Another letter added “I cry every time I look at President Bush, knowing what his actions have cost this nation.” But Time’s endorsement of the Bush-bashing came in their headline: “Bush’s Crocodile Tears.” No question mark.

The original Time article that spurred the venom is here.
