ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION G-DUB?

From the Stockton Record's editorial pages today, Mother's Day, 2007:

"They have served their county. They have personified patriotism. They have given their lives. They are heroes who have left loved ones who cherish prideful memories but mourn the loss of their son, daughter, spouse, father or mother. We salute their dedication but are left to wonder:

"Who will be next? And how many more?"

The note for this piece, which can be found here, notes that in 2000 and 2004, the "Record" endorsed Bush for President. This is a first step toward sanity. THe delicate, perceived political sensibilities of its readership should be set aside again, and the paper should apologize for its myopic endorsement of a bumbler-and his evil, money-grubbing bandit running mate, for the most difficult job in the world. Many of us had these two pegged in 2000, and entities with a lot of reach, like the Record in Northern California, put the word out, in a process repeated all over the country, giving shelter and comfort to millions of people who made that poor voting choice.
