Unbelievable -- maybe a joke whose subtle irony escapes me? On a par with Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy condemning the inhumane treatment of young boys, the LA Times editorial board has bestirred itself to accuse President Bush of intellectual laziness. This from a paper whose news pages reek of well-documented, transparent liberal bias, and whose op/ed pages are little more than a repository for unthinking left-wing boosterism. Ha.

And how unworthy of any newspaper to describe President Reagan of having been "a few jelly beans short of a jar."

But perhaps those clever Times editors shouldn't have been so intellectually lazy when they were amusing themselves at their keyboards. If they had thought about it, it might have occurred to them that their editorial page disagreed with President Reagan about almost everything. It also turns out that President Reagan was right about just about everything -- from the nature of the Soviet Empire to the beneficial economic effects of tax cuts. So if he's a "few jellybeans short of a jar," what's that make them?
