Interesting Op-Ed piece in the NY Times today (free subscription required) where Paul Krugman points out the the lies from Rove's propaganda machine and finally asks:

"Most of all, it's about what has happened to America.
How did our political system get to this point?"

Gee, you think it might have been the complicit silence of the media from Election Day 2000 until just a few weeks ago when Bush's ratings dropped to a safe number?
