Links, commentary, et cetera from The Bygone Bureau

The New York Times rejects McCain’s editorial. The piece was a response to Obama’s “My Plan for Iraq,” an outline of the Senator’s proposed policy for ending the war. Times Op-Ed Editor David Shipley, who formerly served as a speechwriter under Bill Clinton’s presidency, would “be pleased, though, to look at another draft” of McCain’s article. This will give conservatives another reason to accuse The Times of liberal bias, though for a change, I might be inclined to agree.

(Or maybe there were just a lot of typos; I mean, McCain can’t even use a computer, so can we expect him to spell check?)
