  2. I suppose there is nothing really surprising that the major paper of American politics for one of the most important cities in the world would somehow miss this story. Besides no room after all the reports on the miraculous works of Barak Obama.

  3. That was so yesterday. Today,Obama is on the cover of ‘Men’s Health’,interviews with his personal trainer,and OMG you won’t believe this ,’The White House Diet’. I don’t know why anyone would care about a minor blip in his administration,like really, don’t we all know that the truthers are onto something,Michelle has arms to die for,don’t you think? (-:

  5. Just wondering, how many people are being fed from her garden. Haven’t seen or heard anything about it since she planted it. Did she ever weed it herself, or did her girls.

  6. It is good that Michelle has arms to die for, It takes attention away from her rather robust BUTT.

  7. Its amazing how one of the largest newspapers in the world can’t afford one part-time intern to google the names of people who are apointed to high level positions in the government; or a part-time intern to check out blogs to see if anything has caused an uproar.
    Realistically, I can understand a newspaper being a couple of days behind blogs on a story because a single newspaper doesn’t have the resources of the total-blogsphere; and they should be careful to have done proper research on any story they publish. Much beyond a couple of days is unacceptable though, and the only explaination that works is that these papers are trying to hide the truth from their readers.

  8. From The NYT response— ” Another is that despite being a so-called “czar,” Mr. Jones was not a high-ranking official.”— Oh boy,that will rankle the neck hairs of the other czars. In response,I expect Obamma will be making announcements to appease those with their Neiman-Marcus knickers in a knot that they have been elevated to the position of ‘Uber-Czar’.Uber-Czars, unlike regular czars, (who may occasionally wear python boots) will be readily identifiable by their white sox and bullish expressions.

  9. Kate,
    As a first born Scottish accountant, President Barack Obama has taught me something tonight ( In his address to Congress), profit is not profit but overhead.
    Are U F’in kidding me? We operate now under Sarbanes-Oxley and are moving to IFRS and he calls profit overhead. Then maybe he should tell his law partner wife that the law partnership she was involved had zero profits becaue they were eaten up by overhead and she had no income for that period.
    Just when I think he cannae go any further left, I quote from the greaqt Jackie Gleason ” Away we GO!’
    And in deference to Dr. Journo

  10. One reason was that our Washington bureau was somewhat short-staffed during the height of the pre-Labor Day vacation period. This is not an excuse.
    If it’s not an excuse,then why even mention it?? What a bunch of BS. I wouldn’t even train my puppy on that crap “newspaper”.

  11. Far more likely is that there was no one around who was prepared to show any initiative, run the story, and chance the possibility of getting canned by the higher ups or blackballed from Georgetown parties whose hosts are tight with the ruling clique.

  12. After admitting they were a ‘beat’slow it seems they took questions from the editors.
    A. Yes, The Times has a formal structure for choosing the stories that appear on our front page. Nothing that bambam doesn’t like will curse our pages.

  15. the bureau was understaffed…prove it.
    Let’s see the timesheets. I say BS and i wish there was some way to compell the NYT to reveal the truth.
    And it only takes one staff memeber to write the story – there certainly wasn’t a whole lot else going on at the WH. Did anyone file a story?

  16. Darn, EBD took the dog ate my homework.
    How about, “Our political correspondent was kidnapped by aliens for the weekend.”
    Not even trying to lie convincingly any more. Bad sign. I predict a major bailout in the Grey Ladie’s immediate future.

  17. I thought that the Van Jones political rant about the Green Movement, changing world government, economy, deserved the majority of coverage…
    The NYT silence is deafening

  18. The rest of the questions answered by Ms Abramson in that piece are all softball lobs chosen by her to let her hammer the answer out of the park.
    One tough question semi-answered, five soft questions that allow her to spew.

  22. Thank Heaven for Fox News – especially Glen Beck – and the Blogosphere. I think that the ‘chosen 1’ underestimated the American people! Heh.
    The ‘chosen 1’ sounded a lot like Tommy Douglas tonight. Did the ‘chosen 1’ read SDA during the last Sask. election and link to some of the files this site had on that human hater? Things that make me go hummm…

  24. Short-staffed? Michael Calderone at Politico –
    “It’s good that Abramson quickly owns up to missing the story, but hard to talk about being short-staffed when the Times still has a newsroom of about 1,300 people.”
