#1 a shrinkage of constitutional rights

I'm no fan of McCain-Feingold, but that's over-stating the case, IMHO.

Of course, I doubt that's what the P-I had in mind. They're probably upset that the FBI can now keep newspaper clippings.

I'm curious, though, how they can give Kerry a pass when his campaign has been using legal threats to try to shut down criticism of his past.

When the Bush administration began beating the drums for war on Iraq, this page said repeatedly that he had not justified it.

No doubt they were against the Iraqi Liberation Act.

#2 As James Taranto puts in, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer is "as intelligent as a fencepost."

#3 They endorsed Bush last time? Hmm. I'd be willing to bet they changed editors, or were bought out by a parent company like Gannett - or whomever - rather than having some sort of change of heart.

#4 I, too, was about to make a snide comment about the Intelligencer's misnomer when I noticed that this article is actually from the Seattle Times.
Your bad Badanov.;)

Internal consistency has never been a guideline of the left

#7 There isn't that much difference between the Seattle PI and Seattle Times. They are in kind of a 'joint operating' relationship.
They are both also very Liberal... and (thank God) both dying with the rest of the 'print media'. People are getting tired of being told what to think.
Some of the Times headlines are much worse then the PI.

#8 ...undisciplined spending,

Since when has the left concerned withself with reining in government spending? Is this the universe where Spock has a goatee?
