THE FOLKS AT TIME send a press release with this kicker:

New York – President George W. Bush’s cabinet is more diverse than National Public Radio, Tavis Smiley tells TIME in an exclusive interview. “It is ironic that a Republican President has an Administration that is more inclusive and more diverse than a so-called liberal-media-élite network,” Smiley says.

That’s got to hurt.

UPDATE: Here’s a link to the full interview, and here’s the exact quote:

WHAT’S MORE DIVERSE THESE DAYS — NPR OR PRESIDENT BUSH’S CABINET?

Bush’s Cabinet. It is ironic that a Republican President has an Administration that is more inclusive and more diverse than a so-called liberal-media-elite network.

Ouch.
