The first seal of approval was going after Ann Kuster for going after the Bush tax cuts. The second is that they didn't put her rebuttal online, saving it for yesterday's dead tree only version.
Good thing Annie has her own website for her own words:
I support permanent middle class tax relief instead of extending Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
Apparently that position is enough to prompt an accusation of "economic illiteracy" from this newspaper.
...Frankly, this isn't a partisan debate. My opponent in the Democratic primary, Katrina Swett, supported the Bush tax cuts, the war in Iraq, and now the escalation in Afghanistan. And while I am proud to have widespread support from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, I am equally proud that so many Independents and open-minded Republicans are already standing with me in this campaign. They recognize that the reckless spending of politicians like Congressman Bass made a mockery of the fiscal restraint for which the Republican Party was supposed to stand.
...If that belief earns me some name-calling from the defenders of George Bush's policies, so be it.
But read the whole thing online.
