So Slap Me Upside the Head and Call Me Buffy!

Go right ahead because I actually found myself agreeing with minor Antichrist William Safire in his rebuttal to that lard ass rebutt, Bill Bennett on Meet the Press yesterday discussing The Times, the banking spying, and freedom of the press.

You've got to read this transcript (no, really, you do; if you don't, I'll come to your house and sing to you which is something - trust me - you don't want to have happen).

Here's a snippy snip to whet (not wet) your appetite (bon appetit!):

MR. SAFIRE: ...just as the American founding fathers challenged the British government. Now it’s not treasonable, it’s not even wrong for the press to say we’re going to find out what we can and we’ll act as a check and balance on the government. Sometimes we’ll make mistakes. Sometimes the government will mistake.
