BASHING CONSERVATIVES

The liberal press is in high gear, bashing the soon-to-be sworn congressional conservatives. Hypocrisy and distortion abound.

Case in point: Your Nov. 19 editorial page:

Robert Reno, applying tortuous reasoning, accorded Newt Gingrich blame for the slumping housing market.

And columnist Molly Ivins credited Bill Clinton with the deficit's decline three years in a row. Wasn't Clinton sworn in 20 months ago, and isn't his first budget less than 14 months old?
