I expect CNN was about the same. At the same time, I reject the notion CNN was ever "totally left leaning." No, there wasn't just a token comment from the Foreign Relations Committee chairman. Comments from Sens. Allen of Virginia and Kyl of Missouri were on at various times throughout the day. Lastly, please go back and <em>read</em> what I wrote. I made <em>no</em> gratuitous comparison of DeLay to Pol Pot et al. The point, since you seem to have read over it or into it, is that Schlafly applies a lame, lacking standard if all it takes to make her dessicated l'il heart go pitter-pat is effectiveness.

They are still plenty left for my taste: they quote Voinovich and Biden at length about John Bolton, with a little token comment from Luger. I'm groaning at your gratuitous comparison of DeLay to Pol Pot et al. You seem irritated that CNN is not
