Wrong Place, Wrong "Times"

Great article in the LA Times about the administration's efforts over the past 6 years to use the DOJ to fix elections. It's not an ordinary Op-ed; it's by Joseph D. Rich, who headed DOJ's voting section under the civil rights wing from 1999-2005. So he's hardly speculating.

But, why isn't this in the NY Times?! The LA Times is like a box of cereal: some mixture of fruits, nuts, and flakes. Of the major dailies, it's the least reliable--unless you don't subscribe to the notion that the Chicago Tribune can be read in reverse; that is, whatever the Trib says, just assume the opposite.

As for the article itself: the Bushies have been fixing elections again? By suppressing the minority vote? Color me shoKKKed.
