All you need to know about the New York Times

I'll give the paper credit for its editorial calling upon Yasser Arafat to retire. But even here, we have an absolutely classic example of Times touchy-feeliness:

[Arafat] is, after all, a democratically elected leader, though the term he won in 1996 was never meant to be this long.

You know what that's normally called? It's called "not being a democratically elected leader."

(By the way, is "touchy-feeliness" really a word? I guess it is now.)
