that people think reality defines partisanship.

No, I didn't support his candidacy. Even apart from party affiliation, he had no qualifications for the job (nor does Ditka for that matter).

I can tell a hit job when I see one (and California voters are pretty Democratic as well). The charges were not irrelevant. It was the TIMING that was telling. And more than one person from inside that editorial room has revealed that.

Just look at how ridiculous you sound. Did you take the same view towards the papers that reported on Clinton? "All those "silly" charges about him groping women... etc"?

I can judge motivation apart from the truth of the allegations. And there was no question that the voters in California didn't like the coverage either.

I can look at the Bush DUI story and agree that it was true... agree that it was relevant AND voters should know about it before making a decision on who to vote in to the White House. That doesn't change the fact that we all know why the story came out 2,3,4 days before the election. It certainly wasn't just discovered then, it was held for maximum political effect (and the Bush campaign were idiots to not see it coming and leak the story two months earlier.... I wonder what they're missing THIS year?).
