Unlike the opinion pieces in Tuesday’s New York Times written by two people who seem to miss the whole point of the Plame investigation (see below,) Bob Herbert nails it in his column today.

George W. Bush took a big swing at the ball on the O’Connor replacement tee but he topped it. The ball bounced a few yards ahead of him and then dribbled on a bit before coming to rest before the gallery. Even his most avid fans didn’t think he could recover from such [...]
I read “What America Needs Now: A Prophetic Social Movement that Speaks Moral Truth to Amoral Power” by Andrew Bard Schmooker, and I liked it. Here’s an excerpt:
America would be fine in the hands of people devoted to real conservative values. But this is something different, something dangerous. For America is now ruled by [...]
Last November, some of you may remember hearing from people you know who were so distraught by the outcome of the election that they were thinking about expatriating to a country with a more progressive population, like say New Zealand.
The Seattle P-I ran this story in November 2004. Excerpt:
