This guy can't let it rest. He just sent me a couple of articles that were
critical of Giuliani. I have a feeling that they like to think of
themselves as fearless pursuers of the Truth, no matter the contrary
evidence. My reply back to him:

If you were so dead-set opposed to Giuliani's racism, why in hell would you
write an article like the one you wrote today? I ask this sincerely because
I did spot some articles in Lexis-Nexis that were of the character you sent
me. Why would you call attention to the fact that these poor black men smelled?

It never fails to amaze me how you can find such a split personality among
the Timesmen. Thomas Friedman will spend 3 years promoting unregulated
capitalist growth and then turn around and decide that the environment is
under serious threat from exactly the market forces he was hailing.

Do you guys have any underlying principles? Did you just wake up yesterday
and decide to write a column on squeegee men that was a lame attempt at a
David Letterman joke?

As somebody who has been reading the NY Times since 1955, you remain
unfathomable to me and to many other critical-minded readers as well, I'm sure.
