The Inquirer Sinks Deeper

The Philly Inquirer this week "outed" a senior aide to Senator Rick Santorum and to end the week on a bad note, they have this big old wet kiss to Duncan Black. Some excerpts:

Before outing himself, Atrios' identity was a mystery, thought by many to be a suburban Philadelphia educator. He introduced his blog to the world in April 2002 with the question, "Is this thing on?" His readership rocketed into the hundreds of thousands that December when he hammered Trent Lott after the Senate majority leader said of fellow senator and Southerner Strom Thurmond, "If the rest of our country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either." Thurmond was a former segregationist.

While the Washington press corps ignored Lott's birthday-party remarks, Atrios feasted. Five days later, the New York Times picked up the story. Lott resigned.

Uh, no. The right side of the Blogosphere kept this story alive and eventually the left caught up. We police our own. Pretty much the entire article goes on in this fashion. Get off your knees, Dan.

Finally, since La Raza is in town for a convention, the Inqy pushes for illegal aliens to be schooled utilizing US taxpayer dollars; some through college.
