When Gail Collins calls Democratic gubernatorial candidate Creigh Deeds “an inept candidate whose most notable claim to fame was experience in hog castration” and outgoing New Jersey governor Jon Corzine “an uncharismatic former Wall Street big shot who failed to deliver on his most important campaign promises while serving as the public face of a state party that specializes in getting indicted” after the election, it’s meaningless.

If she really thought they were so abominable, you would think she would have mentioned it before Election Day.

Liberal columnists for the New York Times can tolerate anything from a Democrat, except losing an election.

As I said Tuesday, Deeds’s final appearance of the campaign had me warming up to him a bit. I think Collins actually owes Deeds an apology.
