1. NYT is mad because George didn't make the trains run on time?

"The Bush White House has always given us the worst aspects of the American right without any of the advantages. We get the radical goals but not the efficient management."

Fascist efficiency is another myth. Only the Germans were efficient. Not because they were fascists, but because they were German. (Our friend Gudrun just organized my mother's garage for a garage sale. I know whereof I speak.)

2. new york is the enemy

that's why they blew up the WTC. Clinton lives there
Hillary is a senator. I'm sure the bush people would nuke manhattan
if they could call it a terrorist act.... then again, if they
did nuke manhattan, it would be a terrorist act.... this war of
terror on terror has no moral compass... but clearly, new york
is the enemy.

3. Ann Coulter actually said she wished that...

..that the 9/11 terrorists would have hit the NY Times building, instead of the WTC. This is on record.

4. They helped Bush start the Iraq war

and now he's pissed off at them because they captured one of his unflattering "for my rich base only" quotes? I guess that's the same way he's against the judicial branch after they had him installed into office.
