In a NYT piece about Mukasey, Scott Shane writes:
If Mr. Mukasey’s nomination reaches the Senate floor, moderate Democrats appear likely to join Republicans to produce a majority for confirmation.
Silly Mr. Shane! Democrats who vote to confirm nominees who lie to congress about torture aren’t moderates. They’re extremists who don’t care about whether the United States enforces its own laws and lives up to its international obligations. There’s nothing about reporting the news that obliges Mr. Shane to abuse the English language in this way.
