NEWS FLASH: NEW YORK TIMES HAS NO SHAME
There's only one question worth asking about the New York Times: has America's newspaper of record any shame?
Apparently not. After consistently flacking for Gray Davis with a zeal that borders on the missionary, they have decided to bow approvingly at the altar of Bush v. Gore. After calling the Court's equal protection decision everything but heresy when it hurt their man, they embrace it because it's invoked to save Davis.
Personally, I've always been dismissive of the equal protection argument, especially the 'punchcard ballots discriminate against minorites' argument. No, it discriminates against people who are careless, cannot read instructions and don't pay enough attention to make sure they know what they're doing, and there are a lot of non-minorities that fit this category. For some reason, I can't get my blood boiling over this kind of discrimination.
