Meet Your Liberal Media

The New York Times editorial page and Gail Collins Bill Keller saw fit to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr. by running a piece attempting -- and failing -- to rehabiliate Ronnie Reagan on the issue of racial equality.

Yes, the Reagan who supported tax-exempt status for the racist bigots at Bob Jones University.

The Reagan who said in 1980 that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was "humiliating to the South."

The Reagan who said that "Jefferson Davis is a hero of mine."

That Reagan.

Correction (12/21): As reader squeaky rat points out, Gail Collins, and not Bill Keller, is the editor of the editorial page. Collins and David Shipley, editor of the Op-Ed page, are responsible for publishing the revisionist history of Ronnie. My apologies to Mr. Keller.
