The paper of record

Over at Talking Points Memo, David Kurtz has a piece on how the NY Times' Katherine Seelye has concluded that it's really all Hillary's fault that a crotchety old Republican biddy called her a "bitch" at a fund raising even for John McCain. It somehow reminds me of another article in today's Times telling us about a woman who was raped in Saudi Arabia. She was tried for this horrible crime, and the court gave her a sentence of 100 floggings. When she appealed the decision, the court got so mad it ordered her to get an extra 100 floggings and six months in prison. I guess she must have caused the rape. By how? By existing, I guess. If she hadn't been born, of course, she would have been there to tempt the poor victim of a man to rape her.
