MICKEY KAUS IS ACCUSING THE NEW YORK TIMES of “Nixonian” hypocrisy in its explanations of the Jayson Blair affair. And Andrew Sullivan is promising “flood-the-zone” coverage tomorrow.

UPDATE: Jeff Jarvis isn’t buying the affirmative action argument.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Bryan Preston, on the other hand, thinks there’s a Chief Moose connection. It’s interesting tea-leaf reading, but I have to say that other people seem to find this whole affair more fascinating than I do. Kind of like the Bill Bennett thing.
