YARR
Media Matters finds what the Hammer was looking for: Krauthammer's comments on the speech he secretly helped craft:
KRAUTHAMMER: It was a revolutionary speech in that sense [that American freedom is contingent upon the spread of freedom abroad] and the closest echo is to, really, John Kennedy's speech, his inaugural address where he talked about -- in fact, there's a phrase in this inaugural which is an allusion to a famous phrase in Kennedy's.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
As they drafted the speech this month, White House political aide Karl Rove and chief speechwriter Michael Gerson held a two-hour seminar with a panel of foreign policy scholars, including several leading neocons — newspaper columnist Charles Krauthammer, Fouad Ajami of Johns Hopkins University and Victor Davis Hanson of Stanford's Hoover Institution — according to a person who was present.
While not exactly on the same scale as the news that Atrios had political leanings, this is yet another regrettable revelation (YARR). Democracy is best served by a press independent from politics. The Bush administration, not content with controlling all three branches of government, is hell bent on dominating the fourth estate, as well.
