Read his lips, but watch his actions
Re “A strange appointment,†editorial, Nov. 27
It is laudable that The Times notes the conflict between President Bush’s conciliatory remarks after the Nov. 7 elections and the furthering of the Republican religious agenda by appointing Eric Keroack, a right-wing, anti-contraception nut job, to the head of the government’s family planning office.
Not enough of this conflict has been noted in the past. I was stunned when the media accepted the conciliatory statements by the compassionate conservative without comment. Let us hope that this new alertness by the media continues. Otherwise, this will be a case of fool me twice, shame on me.
