What’s the difference between Bush and Obama? Well, according to the New York Times, not much at all:

And while the substance of his Iran policy does not vary that much from Mr. Bush’s — the United States still seeks to rein in Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, still criticizes Iran’s support for militant Islamist organizations, still allies itself staunchly with Israel — he has taken pains to flavor that policy with different atmospherics.

Ah! If only Bush had picked a better “flavor” to coat his foreign policy with – maybe then he would have been the recipient of absurdly positive press coverage.

You know what’s funniest about this? The Times, a supposedly legitimate and objective source of news, is making the same point that a comedian made in January. The NYT has been nothing but hackery for years – but who would have thought they’d reach the point of repackaging a late-night comedy bit as serious political analysis?
