I read The Smirking Chimp a lot and it is definitely liberal biased. The thing that makes this article more newsworthy is that it catalogs a litany of known and generally accepted infractions by the Bush regime. One of the problems with Bush is that he commits so many crimes and infractions that people tend to forget the earlier ones. I also think it is unfair to compare Bush to FDR. FDR was intelligent, articulate and initiated great social reform in a time of great uncertainty. FDR was a champion of the poor while Bush is a champion of corporations.
