Apparently, the NY Times has successfully managed to piss the republicans off... what, with supporting Kerry n' all. Oh, they've brought it...who cares that it sounds like "nanner nanner poo poo, the great big middle of America is more powerful than it's coasts, and your puny newspaper IS not reaad there" (use this: http://www.salon.com/news/cookie.html to get into Salon)

  • The NY Times Strikes Back "In taking on Mr. Bush over Social Security, Mr. Kerry cited a report in Sunday's New York Times Magazine that quoted Mr. Bush, in a private meeting with top Republican donors last month, describing his second-term agenda. "I'm going to come out strong after my swearing in," Mr. Bush told the so-called Regents, The Times Magazine reported, "with fundamental tax reform, tort reform, privatizing of Social Security." Mr. Bush added that re-election would give him two years, until the next midterm elections, to act: "We have to move quickly, because after that I'll be quacking like a duck."
  • The middle of America? Aren't those the welfare states?
  • "...because after that I'll be quacking like a duck." Can someone explain that to me? That's the third time I've read this quote and I still don't understand.
  • "Lame duck" = term for president in last years of his second term. ps I dont think Bush has ever loved the NYT- remember the "major league asshole" comment from 2000?
  • The middle of America? Aren't those the welfare states? LEAVE CANADA ALONE!
