Extracurricular Politics
Scarier than Falwell. The new immigration wars. McCain-Feingold redux. Rudy redone. Resisting the Hillyer Doctrine. Plus much more.

Oh, so little time and so many deserving enemies of the week. As
usual they all deserve the award and censure but I must once again
take issue with your final choice. Surely Charlie Gibson is an
enemy among enemies. The failure to lead with Jerry Falwell’s death
and much more importantly the reluctance to praise this noteworthy
individual is appalling. Falwell was a good and spiritual man who
was an easy and welcome target for the “sophisticates” in the
mainline media who never did believe and the religious left who
long ago gave up believing in the redeeming virtues of religion.
What an awful reflection on our modern culture. Of course if you
had not mentioned Gibson’s selective “censoring” of the news I
would have been blissfully unaware of it since I stopped watching
the network news sometime around 1970. So perhaps it is better to
give Gibson and his kind no attention at all (after all, if a tree
falls in the forest and no one hears it, was there really any
noise?)
