LET'S FORM A MOB!!!

*lights pitchfork*



"Far-right" in that context is just useless language. While it's assumed that a "fair" judge appointed under a Republican would be "fair from a Republican standpoint," I don't recall any of those proposed appointees seeming all that "far-right." Farther to the right than your average NYT editor, Yes. As is your average Kennedy. It's hardly balanced journalism, in my view, to not qualify that reference, even in an editorial.

But of course that's the general, underlying problem here, isn't it? We now live in a world where fair means biased favorably toward my interests and journalism means lies of which I approve. Greedy suddenly means interested in keeping that which is mine and a liberal principle is generally observed to be anything that forces someone else to accept whatever they regard as offensive.

I guess it all makes sense in a time when conservatives are the party of global political change, human rights and profligate entitlement spending and an America that fights global terror by causing it.

Do what?
