Do we really want these chuckleheads running our country ? Some of the Democratic missteps started soon after planning for the event began. The Democratic National Convention Committee decided not to take cheap office space and instead rented top-quality offices in downtown Denver at $100,000 a month, only to need less than half the space, which it then filled with rental furniture at $50,000 a month....

The Post, which supports the result in the Supreme Court's Kennedy v. Louisiana decision invalidating the death penalty for rape, concedes (in an editorial yesterday) that the case should be reconsidered in light of the error on which the ruling was based.

Because, so consumed is the paper by its hatred of President Bush, that the Times actually wants America to lose. Such is the considered opinion Jim Pinkerton expressed on yesterday's Fox News Watch.
