I think Ahmadineijad at Columbia University pushed me over the edge. My barrel ride over the falls all started with the special pricing offered to MoveOn by the NY TIMES. The icing on the cake is being referred to as The Cackle that Killed 1,000 Ears. I need to be re-educated by GOOGLE.

On the other hand...

This morning, Clark Hoyt, Public Editor of the New York Times, acknowledged that the paper had violated its own advertising policies by giving MoveOn.org a discounted rate for the ad that accused General Petraeus of being a traitor. Hoyt also said that in his judgment, the ad should not have been approved under the paper's policy that states, "We do not accept opinion advertisements that are attacks of a personal nature."

I think it is a reasonable inference that someone in the Times' advertising department collaborated with MoveOn.org to get the ad into the paper on the critical morning when General Petraeus's testimony began, while charging the group the paper's discounted "standby" rate, because the Times employee shared MoveOn's desire to smear Petraeus. It is revealing, too, that the Times employee who is charged with enforcing the policy against "attacks of a personal nature" didn't see anything out of bounds about calling our commanding general in Iraq a traitor.
