A Great Letter To The Editor

From today's Bend Bulletin (thanks for the heads-up, Roxy):

Since, by now, anyone with Internet access knows that Hillary Clinton's use of the term "plantation" merely echoes the use of that term by Newt Gingrich in October 1994 in describing the U.S. House of Representatives, it would be instructive if The Bulletin's editorial staff could unearth an editorial from that month and year indicating its unqualified distaste with this term as it did so recently in addressing Clinton's description of the Republicans' running of the House.

The running of this old editorial would establish The Bulletin's editorial staff as partisan observers instead of conservative lackeys, which an enlightened reader may assume, should this editorial not be forthcoming.
