I'm a friend and contributing writer, as you know. I don't want FreePress to think I've lost confidence in them, or vice versa. I hope we'll stay friends.
But really, folks! James A. Baker III was, more than any other individual, responsible for stopping the recount in Florida in 2000. He was summoned by the Bush family for that very purpose, and he fulfilled it. Baker is not interested in election reform any more than Victor Yanukovich is. Baker is interested in protecting George W. Bush from the public knowing that he was twice elected by fraud.
For FreePress to run an editorial that speaks of Baker as if he were a legitimate representative of the people, on a par with Jimmy Carter, is very, very disappointing.
