By damn, ya write the old gal off time after time, and then she rares up her head, casts off her gray whore's costume and strides forth in a blaze of glory. New York Times lead editorial this morning:
In its fumbling attempts to explain the purge of United States attorneys, the Bush administration has argued that the fired prosecutors were not aggressive enough about addressing voter fraud. It is a phony argument; there is no evidence that any of them ignored real instances of voter fraud. But more than that, it is a window on what may be a major reason for some of the firings.In partisan Republican circles, the pursuit of voter fraud is code for suppressing the votes of minorities and poor people. By resisting pressure to crack down on “fraud,” the fired United States attorneys actually appear to have been standing up for the integrity of the election system.
If I didn't know better I'd think they'd been reading here. There's fraud here all right, but not the way the "voter fraud" liars would have it believed. Go read the rest; somehow they didn't feel it necessary to hide this behind the paywall. We'll know the restoration to integrity is complete when they tear down that wall and free Krugman and Rich and company for good, but for now, Reward Good Behavior and go hit the shit out of them.

And the Times has just put Kit Seelye back onto political writing. I don't see much hope in *that*.
