Searching for the Stake for Count Deanula's Heart

The NYTimes sees nothing wrong with the hypocrisy and hot air surrounding judicial oversight of selectively unsealing Dean's Gubernatorial records. But our own John Sass of Flagstaff finds plenty to fault, which he expresses in his latest letter to the editor as a member of Dean Rapid Response AZ:

I'm amazed that, for the second time in a month, the Times editors see fit to belabor Governor Dean for sealing a portion of his official records. Contrary to the blather in the Times and elsewhere, this is a perfectly common and acceptable procedure. The President, who seems to wear Teflon, has "unsealed" his records after a court order, but with the help of Texas Republicans, has made it virtually impossible to access them. Where is the Times' concern over this? There certainly appears to be a definite anti-Dean bias on this whole issue.

Release of any of the currently sealed documents will result in a feeding frenzy by low-life "investigators" in the employ of the cutthroats, both Democratic and Republican, who with your help, are trying to derail a genuinely grassroots campaign that owes nothing to any "special interests" including the owners of the Times.
