Roger L. Simon has a couple of good posts this weekend. The first is on one of my favorite subjects, an example of the "hard news" press editorializing, and even novelizing, on the front page. In his post Guantanamera, Roger takes the Times to task for just such an article describing in sensationalistic terms the goings-on with Iraqi prisoners being held by American forces

The second, The As If Man, shows Roger has about the same viscerally negative reaction that I have to John Kerry's continuously opportunistic, self-serving statements, this time, predictably on the issue of Aristide's fall. Kerry gives one the impression of being a guy who'll say absolutely anything, not based on what he believes, but merely what he believes to be politically expedient at any particular moment - and that makes it very, very difficult to take him seriously.
