Editorial Director of CBSNews.com Suddenly Awakens From His Slumber

This is almost as bad as the war-dodger King George and the draft-dodger Darth Cheney suddenly having so much knowledge about the perils of combat. Dick Meyer 12 years too late discovers: This is a story I should have written 12 years ago when the "Contract with America" Republicans captured the House in 1994. I apologize. Really, it's just a simple thesis: The men who ran the Republican Party in the House of Representatives for the past 12 years were a group of weirdos. Together, they comprised one of the oddest legislative power cliques in our history. And for 12 years, the media didn't call a duck a duck, because that's not something we're supposed to do. Read on..... I have to wonder if this very convenient new-found wisdom is nothing more than a cover for you to do your slash and burn on the new Democratic Congress and Senate. Too bad you didn't wake up in time to stop all the crap you in the media found as a reason for impeachment of a President. You didn't "call a duck a duck" because you were too busy titillating the country with tales about a blue dress and a blow job.
