One can see this blunder as indicative of all kinds of things, and certainly I wouldn't rule out the writer's own anti-papism, but, perhaps more than anything, it is an example of how stale run-of-the-mill quote-counter quote journalism is. JPII's passing is one of the biggest stories of the year, and the Pope himself one of the great figures of the last century, and yet here we have this NYT article that treats it as just another dispatch from a city schoolboard meeting.
Pretty sad, really.
It's an obvious Powerline forgery.
Proof? I have as much proof as Hannity had calling the Republican Schiavo "Talking Points" memo fake last week on national TV.
"Everybody does it". Beyond pathetic. There's a name for people who repeatedly do the same thing, expecting different results.
