Today's Political Comment

We still don't know who, if anyone, is going to get indicted in the Valerie Plame/CIA matter. But the revelations lately sure seem to be making the case that The New York Times (Judy Miller, in particular) was in bed with the Bush administration and getting special access in exchange for reporting Iraq-related news the way the White House wanted it reported. Anyone besides me remember when newspapers couldn't be bought off that way?

In the meantime, Frank Rich's weekend Times column is apparently available for free there for a limited time. Go give it a read before it disappears behind the barricade.

UPDATE, three minutes later: Whoops! They seem to have moved it to the pay section even as I was posting the above. But you can still read it here.
