Now they tell us

Times editorial:

After President Bush's disastrous visit to Latin America, it's unnerving to realize that his presidency still has more than three years to run. An administration with no agenda and no competence would be hard enough to live with on the domestic front. But the rest of the world simply can't afford an American government this bad for that long.

Thanks for noticing -- six years too late. We're confident the Gore administration would've done better. No acknowledgement of the Times' role in helping install W in the White House by letting Kit Seelye trash the Democratic candidate in its pages throughout the campaign. And still uncorrected is this incorrect headline. We'll link when Somerby weighs in.
