More on Those Oh-So-Nonpartisan Diplomats

The Los Angeles Times ran another story yesterday on the anti-Bush letter signed by those 27 oh-so-non-partisan diplomats. (I thought there were only 26 of them?)

The other day, I provided evidence that the group was simply a bunch of Democrats criticizing Bush. Stop the presses!

The group claims, by contrast, that they are a mix of Republicans and Democrats who have simply been alienated by Bush's performance in office.

If this were true, of course, a good percentage of them would have voted for Bush in 2000, before they could have been alienated by Bush's performance as President. Knowing that they were accused of being a largely Democratic group, signatories of the letter would naturally want to respond to allegations of partisanship in the strongest possible terms -- ideally by showcasing any members of the group who voted for Bush in 2000.

In yesterday's story, the diplomats responded to the accusation that they were a group of anti-Bush partisans by arguing that 2 of the 27 voted for Bush in 2000.

That's 7% of them.

Who ever heard of a group of people who consider themselves primarily moderate -- yet only 7% of them voted for the Republican candidate for President?

(The Media, of course)

No wonder journalists consider these diplomats to be a bipartisan group!
