It's Soooo Worth the Fight!
There are few spectacles more entertaining- or revealing- than that of the New York Times losing it over abortion.
The editorial in today's NYT is nothing short of hysterical- in the "ha ha" sense and the "foaming at the mouth" one as well. DIH is having trouble finding her favortie paragraph. Maybe it's this one:
"As far as we know, Mr. Kennedy and his four colleagues responsible for this atrocious result are not doctors. AND DOCTORS KNOW EVERYTHING, GODAMMIT!!. Yet these five male- DID YOU NOTICE THAT? THEY'RE ALL MEN!! OK, ONE OF THEM'S A BLACK MAN BUT THAT DOESNT' COUNT, HE'S STILL A MAN, AND WHAT DO MEN KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE? UNLESS THEY'RE MEN DOCTORS, IN WHICH CASE THEY KNOW EVERYTHING!!-- justices felt free to override the weight of medical evidence presented during the several trials that preceded the Supreme Court showdown. Instead, they ratified the politically based and dangerously dubious Congressional claim that criminalizing the intact dilation and extraction method of abortion in the second trimester of pregnancy — the so-called partial-birth method -- SO-CALLED! SO-CALLED!~ AND AS SOON AS WE COME UP WTIH A BETTER NAME FOR IT WE'RE GOING TO START USING IT, TOO! HOW ABOUT 'SKULL-SUCKER?" THE KIDS WOULD GO FOR THAT ONE!!— would never pose a significant health risk to a woman. NEVER EVER EVER! EVEN THOUGH AS WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR YEARS, CHILDBIRTH IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN ABORTION! SO THAT MEANS IF A WOMAN HAS AN ABORTION IN THE MIDDLE OF CHILDBIRTH SHE-S' SHE'S- UH, LET ME GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT ONE!!!"
Well, yes, DIH did add the caps. But it's all there, really. I hope they had a couple of oxygen masks on hand over at the Grey Lady yesterday.

Seems their new motto ought be "All the fits that's new to print."
