I meant to do this last week, but .. didn't.
When I read this lede into the Times obituary for A.M. Rosenthal I
cynically thought "Innovative to these schmucks, maybe, as anyone with
integrity would be.'' In 1997 Rosenthal penned an editorial, ''We Never Knew,''
that many thought was the death knell for the Clintons. It would
have been for any Republican. Still, I think there was a subtle
change in how media Clintoids
behaved after that, as if they were wary of another attack from their
rear. Who on today's Times' editorial board has the integrity to
commit such apostasy? Answer = nobody. That's what's
become of the old New York Times. It died before he did.
