Of course I can't stand what they did this time, now in their article for the Sunday Times, "Kerry as the Boss: Always More Questions."
You could write the article yourself, I'm sure, but one graph in particular got me:
"Unlike Mr. Bush, who was a governor and a business executive before he ran for president, Mr. Kerry - who has spent the past 20 years as a legislator, with a staff of perhaps 60 - has little experience in managing any kind of large operation."
Here's what I wrote:
On Sunday, September 26th, Adam Nagourney and Jodi Wilgoren compared Kerry to Bush with the following words: "Unlike Mr. Bush, who was a governor and a business executive before he ran for president, Mr. Kerry - who has spent the past 20 years as a legislator, with a staff of perhaps 60 - has little experience in managing any kind of large operation." Putting aside the fact that, constitutionally speaking, Texas has one of the weakest governorships in the nation, Kerry served successfully as a senator; Bush, on the other hand, left Texas as one of the worst states in the union for education, environment, and teenage pregnancy.
The truth is in the details.
Go ahead and write your own letter. Read the article. I'm sure you'll find something to grouse about.
