In a small indication of poor judgment, Sen. John McCain's operatives provided a link on his campaign Web site to the New York Times editorial endorsing Sen. McCain in the New York primary Feb. 5.

The endorsement got more attention than it otherwise would because MSNBC's Brian Williams, one of the moderators of the GOP debate in Florida last Thursday, threw it in the face of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The editorial had consisted mostly of the editorial board explaining why they think Mr. Giuliani is an evil mean nasty rotten guy. Mr. Williams wanted to know: how does the mayor respond to such withering criticism from his home town paper?

Mr. Giuliani's eyes lit up like Babe Ruth's used to when he saw a hanging curve spinning in his wheelhouse. Rudy knew, as Brian Williams evidently did not, that for the vast majority of Republicans, to be endorsed by the New York Times is like being endorsed by Satan.
