Crawford Newspaper Endorses Keery

This is funny:

A tiny weekly newspaper that bills itself as President Bush's hometown paper has endorsed John Kerry for president, saying the Massachusetts senator will restore American dignity.(...)

"Four items trouble us the most about the Bush administration: his initiatives to disable the Social Security (news - web sites) system, the deteriorating state of the American economy, a dangerous shift away from the basic freedoms established by our founding fathers, and his continuous mistakes regarding Iraq," the editorial said.

The Iconoclast, established in 2000, said it editorialized in support of the invasion of Iraq and publisher W. Leon Smith promoted Bush and the invasion in a BBC interview, believing Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. "Instead we were duped into following yet another privileged agenda," the editorial said.

Will the LA Times follow suit?

If played correctly, this would be a huge blow to Bush's ego.

Well, it's on the AP wire, so a LOT of people will see it; it's one of the top stories on the CNN/Netscape news front at the moment.

hmmm...
Is anyone else amused by the fact that if you put that Yahoo article into TinyURL, you get an interesting URL?
