(HERO WORSHIP) Along with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, New York Times columnist Frank Rich makes the short list of people who have helped liberals maintain their sanity during the Bush years. Rich is furious with the current administration, but never shrill. Instead, he uses his lengthy Sunday column (and his former experience as the Times' theater critic) to fillet the Republicans for their shameless, amateurish, and utterly dishonest performances.
