NYT on the Senate showdown

We hope President Bush will step in to help find a solution. Otherwise, warns his fellow Republican Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the result will be the harmful crimping of minority rights in a proud deliberative body and "a dark, protracted era of divisive partisanship."

i'm sorry but, now that the bomb is armed, ticking, and strategically placed on the dais where herr cheney can set it off with a mere touch, is W-A-A-A-AY past the time when this kind of editorial should have been written... as long as media accountability is in the air, how about owning up to how a lack of journalistic cojones might have contributed to the ushering in of a "dark, protracted era of divisive partisanship..."

p.s. "bush step in to help find a solution...???" "BUSH STEP IN TO HELP FIND A SOLUTION...???" uhhhhh... 'scuse ME...??? after going on five years of watching this administration in action, the fact that you can put such a vain hope in print kicks your honesty right into the crapper...
