Herbert gracefully concedes was "bad enough," was to follow John Luttig to his home and shoot him dead as he exited his car, and to steal that car for a one-block joyride.
Herbert deems a "Texas Travesty." To be sure, he recounts a couple of alleged racist statements by jurors or jurors' families — sentiments which have utterly no place in a court of law or any decent society, and which Mr.
Herbert goes on to attack Michael Luttig — the son of the murdered victim — because he dared to assist the prosecution in the case.

Earlier this week Bob Herbert caused quite a stir by alleging that officers from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) were using a phony vote fraud investigation to intimidate elderly African-American voters and try to suppress fl turnout at the polls in Florida this November.
Herbert fails to mention that, as reported in the Orlando Sentinel on July 25, 2004, Mr.
Herbert, McAuliffe, and the rest of the Democrats - the supposed "champions" of the African-American community - are manipulating the fears of fl voters and playing on racial distrust and division to make sure that anything approaching a close race in Florida is contestable, and that any Bush victory is illegitimate.

 PointofLaw.com | PointOfLaw Forum: Bob Herbert's "Malpractice Myths"
But Herbert, without any obvious irony, is ascribing this sin to insurance companies, rather than to the trial lawyers who have caused losses paid per doctor to increase 1300% since 1975--more than twice the rate of medical-care inflation.
Herbert claims that medical malpractice insurance and claims is only 1% of health-care costs; but that figure ignores the billions spent on inefficient defensive medicine, on hospital in-house lawyers, on time doctors spend with lawyers instead of with patients, and on self-insurance.
It also ignores the effects of runaway claims on specialists such as obstetricians that face six-digit premiums--even the trial-lawyer front group Center for Justice and Democracy, who Herbert relies upon, admits that the average OB/GYN pays about a quarter of her net income in premiums, and that figure is much higher in "crisis" states.

But New York Times columnist Bob Herbert went the pc feminists at the ABC one better: On June 4, he suggested that Illinois politician Barack Obama was birthed by Obama’s father, without a female (what used to be called a “mother”) playing any role in the matter.
The title of Herbert’s column is, “A Leap of Faith.” But the leap of faith is not in support of Barack Obama; it is in support of Bob Herbert.
Herbert notwithstanding, I wasn’t aware that socialism, statist absolutism, and anti-white racism constituted “a set of core values that bind us together as Americans." But then, were Obama a champion of real American “core values” like liberty, merit, and equality before the law, a racist like Herbert would never have supported him.

 Running Scared: Bob Herbert Catches Up
11/9/2004 07:48:50 AM Today's op-ed by Bob Herbert essentially rehashes an entry I posted back on Oct. 22, detailing the findings of the University of Maryland study which showed that Bush supporters lacked a lot of critical information when deciding on which candidate they supported.
The sections he highlights are certainly valid, mostly pertaining to the large percentages of Bush supporters who held completely false beliefs, denied by the President himself, about things such as the presence of WMDs in Iraq, Iraqi support for bin Laden, and world perceptions about the invasion.
While Herbert spends most of the article talking about the lack of information among Bush voters, she essentially proves his point by missing that entirely, and claiming that Herbert was talking about lack of voter turnout, and how she already disproved that claim.
