The Livingston Press and Argus has a bizarre editorial in editions for Sunday (Dec. 14, 2008).
It's an attack (and a fairly juvenile one at that) on Sen. Chris Dodd, who has been working to push through a loan for the American auto industry. The writer attacks Dodd for having a full head of hair, for having divorced his first wife and then dating a couple movie stars (gee, didn't Ronald Reagan do that?).
The writer doesn't like the fact that Dodd wanted GM CEO Rick Waggoner to step down as a condition of the federal loan. But there's not a word of criticism for the Southern Republican senators who wanted to legislate 50 percent pay cuts for thousands of workers as a condition of the loan as a thinly veiled excuse to sink the loan.
Of all the people to criticize, Dodd is pretty far down the list. At least he voted for the loan.
More and more the Press/Argus seem like a bunch of high schoolers who think they are so cool and think making fun of people is hilarious!
