"I nominate Elisabeth Bumiller and Jeff Gerth of the New York Times for Mediawhores of the Week, for writing an article that blames the Democrats for the August 14 blackout.

The article contains no mention of the bill sponsored by Democrat Sam Farr in June 2001 to provide loans to upgrade the delivery infrastructure, which bill was opposed by Bush and voted down by Republicans. In fact, the article makes no mention of the fact that the blackout was caused by a failure of the infrastructure, not by a supply shortage. What it does say is that the Bush-Cheney plan would have prevented the blackout if only those nasty Democrats hadn't gotten all political about it. But who could have known that more oil wells in Alaska would have prevented an overload of the power supply network in the Great Lakes region?"
