Political cartoon gets a 3L today. The attack on Rumsfeld by the media continues.

Thomas Friedman was the OP-ED writer today. He wants the republicans to create a balanced reform of immigration to improve the intellectual intelligence of immigrants. To bad Teddy Kennedy got a law passed the favors poor illiterate immigrants and limits intelligent European immigrants. He has absolutely nothing to say about any democrat immigration proposals, ... But then are their any? Usually a liberal writer who almost sounds midline today. W2L A0.

The other OP-ED article was for abandoning Iraq, she says she wants to form a dialog but the only thing she wants to discuss is when to get out. She implies that all of the previous decisions made about Iraq were wrong and that we can't trust those 'same' people to continue. The IR lists her as a former nurse. So we now have the IR endorsing a nurse's opinion on how to run Iraq. I feel there is more to this. But wait, this is the same person who opposes the patriot act but who is not led by the ACLU, according to her. She is a member of the Helena Patriot committee who got the City commission to pass a stupid resolution. Odd why every anti-Bush committee has a patriotic name. Give this article a 3L and the writer a 3L and an extra point for each because the IR didn't list her anti-war stance or fully disclose her political leanings for the article but instead only listed her nursing career and her Vietnam service.
