The Myth That Gore "Won" Florida.

Don Surber soberly deconstructs the gibberish that the NYT, still stuck in 2000, continues to disseminate in the hopes that, long after its reputation as the newspaper of record has evaporated, might still hang around as "urban legend."

What I admire about Surber is that he doesn't shy away from criticizing Gore's manifest character defects which allowed the girlie-man VP to squander a huge advantage in the polls to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to "earth tones" and hyper-aggressive weirdness on his TV opportunities.

And the Republicans didn't whine and whinge for years after they lost a '92 election largely engineered by the media which persisted in giving "crazy aunt in the attic" Ross Perot credibility in order to cut into the Republican vote. Many Republicans today rue their temporary insanity in supporting Perot instead of Bush.

Now we have a terrorism problem that Clinton's malfeasance in the '90s [a combo of sheer lassitude and hyper-lawyered legal fetishes] that allowed the US to become the passive object of Islamic terrorists in the 00's.

But the NYT's trenchant partisan tilt doesn't allow going back to the flawed '92 media boondoogle.

Now the creepy retardos at the NYT are trying to discredit the US Supreme Court. Lotsa luck, you flaming Walter Duranty wannabes!
