Duncan,

>>More Kelly (the guy who lost his job at the New Republic because he insisted on
telling the truth):


That is one of the saddest things I have seen recently. Despite our political differences, I have always respected the New Republic and have enjoyed reading it. It is well written, and I have always considered it a paragon of the "honest left". But Mr. Peretz's decision to fire Mr. Kelly, just because of his opposition to unspeakable corruption in the Clinton-Gore administration, is unpardonable. I will not be renewing my subscription.

And that leads me to comment in a more general sense about the lack of introspection among liberals who are ignoring the corruption and dishonesty of this administration, just because Clinton and his cronies are supposedly big government "liberals". (And even that is arguable, considering Clinton's position on NAFTA, IMF, etc.) The liberals who are ignoring Clinton's corruption are either lacking in intellectual honesty, or they are lacking in integrity themselves. Don't they own mirrors?
