Week after week Gene continues to blast them out of the ball park.

But you know what? I also know of crooked cops, disbarred lawyers, drugaddicted physicians, child-molesting teachers, skirt-chasing preachers, scientists who fudge data, corporate execs who pad profits, ballplayers who bulk up on steroids—well, you get the point. If there’s a politician alive who’s never lied, bronze him fast before somebody gets a photo of his hand in the till.

3. Great definition of "liberal" at the end
In that regard, no selfrespecting press organization can be anything but "liberal" in the sense of sharing a post-enlightenment world view that distinguishes between fact and belief. And facts, see, are the enemy of dogma.
