Honor deserts WSJ like Ismay leaving the ship

Gambling, what gambling? Wall Street Journal denies reality: "'Perhaps Mr. Keller has been listening to his boss, Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr., who in a recent commencement address apologized to the graduates because his generation 'had seen the horrors and futility of war and smelled the stench of corruption in government.
Our children, we vowed, would never know that. So, well, sorry. It wasn't supposed to be this way,' the publisher continued. 'You weren't supposed to be graduating into an America fighting a misbegotten war in a foreign land. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where we are still fighting for fundamental human rights,' and so on.

'Forgive us if we conclude that a newspaper led by someone who speaks this way to college seniors has as a major goal not winning the war on terror but obstructing it.' "

The Wall Street Journal is clearing its busy throat in a crowded rightie men's room.
