Lex fired off this to the Daily Fishwrap after yesterday's Sutter letter:

I am delighted to know that nothing will change at the JG in 2009. Every left wing loon claim no matter how demonstrably false that claim is will escape the editor’s pen as long as it advances the left wing loon agenda.

Case in point is the web version of Richard Sutter’s letter. That letter, among other idiocies, claims that the Vice President Cheney revealed the identity of Valerie Plame. That statement is wrong, false, inaccurate, bogus and made up.

In case you missed it, Uncle Fester look-a-like and Colin Powell acolyte Richard Armitage revealed Valerie Plame’s identity to Robert Novak. Not only did he reveal Ms. Plame’s identity, he then cravenly remained silent while months of taxpayer money went toward an investigation that ruined good people.

I can accept that someone educated in the public school system and getting all of his news via the Daily KOs might have missed that. But editors at NEWS papers are supposed to be better informed and – dare I say it – interested in the truth.

If I owned or edited a newspaper I’d have simple rule #1: We will not print anywhere in this paper information we know to be false without identifying in an editor’s note or in the context of the story the false information.

On a different not, I find it rather comical that for all of the talk of change, for Libs, nothing ever does. Sutter’s letter demonstrates that we need to buckle up for four more years of Libs blaming and bashing President Bush for everything from the stain on their new carpet to the dent they got in their car door at the mall. If/when P-E Obama fails - it'll be all George Bush's fault.
