He's a Democrat.

Remember, you are reading the New York Times.  If something shameful
happens to a politician, the NYT times rules are as follows:

If it makes the person look bad AND the party is Democrat do not mention
party affiliation and soften the blow.
If it makes the person look bad AND the party is Republican, gloat about
the party affiliation, place it in the headline (for example, the NYT
story would have read: Republican Gov. Mc Greevey Resigns after
Homosexual Affair is revealed.)

Look for continuing obfuscation on the news this evening.

Subject: [HP3000-L] A question of attributes (non-database ;-)

While glancing at this story in The New York Times (sorry,
Denys), I could not find any of the expected attributes
(Democrat/Republican/Independent/Left/Right/Middle/Moderate/Extreme,
and so on).  Anybody has any idea?

Still wondering whether "attributes" should be called "fields"
or "columns",
