No, I am not rehashing the Skidmore brouhaha of November 2003. Although Skidmore is mentioned! This column is by Katha Pollit of The Nation, pursuing an event staged by Fox News (who else), accusing out of state students who intend to vote in their district of residence (the college town) of committing a felony. Talk of the Fox being charge of the chicken coop!!!
At the same time today's New York Times editorial covers similar ground: students as young and inexperienced, and of course easy to intimidate, are fair game for the slimy Republican tactics to ensure that any anti-Bush sentiments remain inexpressed.
The Beginning of the End.
