A good day for The Grey Lady

By Libby

The NYT is on a roll today. As Cernig noted this morning they had a good editorial on Bush's criminal circumvention of the rule of law on domestic surveillance, but they didn't stop with that. Another editorial accused him of lying about the economy. And even more surprising, MoDo actually took a break from her usual vacuous sniping at Democrats to do a little Bush bashing of her own.

I agree with Avedon that this doesn't absolve MoDo or the Times for their past transgressions but nonetheless it is nice to see them doing their job for a change and calling out the president on his contemptible conduct.
