Mark Morford of the San Francisco Chronicle is one of my favorite columnists. He has a real knack for using colorful prose and biting wit to expose the absurdities of government and other public and popular institutions.
This week he addresses the media's silence on the Downing Street Memo.
An excerpt:

Why isn't the media screaming about the latest proofs of Bush's war scams?
Don't you know?
BushCo survived the illegal sanctioning of inhumane torture. They survived a gay male prostitute acting as a journalist. They survived Enron and Diebold and the rigging of the first election and they will survive Downing Street simply because all the people who should be on the attack about these atrocities all work for the guys who committed them.
