A reader alerted me to an odd omission in that New York Times story on Spitzer’s about face on licenses. From the article:
“But Mr.. Spitzer, who once dismissed a critic of his proposal as “factually wrong, legally wrong, morally wrong, ethically wrong,” was more conciliatory today, saying that leadership was “not solely about doing what one thinks is right.”
Curious that the Times didn’t think it was worth mentioning that the “critic” in question is Mike Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City. Could it be that naming names would make the criticism in question sound a bit too mainstream and reasonable for the Times’s tastes?
