The Old Bipartisanship Plea

This editorial reeks of "now that we've kneed you in the groin and you're rolling around in pain, can we go back to regular Queensbury Rules?"

There are a number of things that could have tipped this the other way. Yes, the Republicans fumbled a lot, but the misrepresentation of the war on terrorism by the media is the hardest to take. The blatant hostility of the news media toward George Bush is second.

Now, it seems, they want to call off the charges of sleazy corruption and start with a clean slate. Congressman Jefferson, of Cold Cash fame, is due for a runoff election, and I'll bet the Times would like that to go away.
