If you have a particular masochistic streak and want to overdose on the liberal media's bias, run a quick LexisNexis search and read the comments from "journalists" accompanying the inauguration of President George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan. Ann Coulter's recent column contained a few choice examples.

One might think the new post-partisan president himself would have broken from this trend and exuded the singular kind of collegiality for which he is celebrated. But in the midst of his lofty speech, he couldn't pass up a few digs at the exiting administration, either: "The time has come to set aside childish things. … Our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisions, that time has surely passed."

Obama also couldn't resist a jab at the knuckle-dragging science-averse, apparently for failing to swallow the left's uncompromising faith-based opinion, which has come under increasing scientific challenge (31,000-plus scientists and counting), that human activities are leading to apocalyptic global warming. "We will restore science to its rightful place," he said. I assume "its rightful place" is in service to leftist propaganda.

Unfortunately, this superior, blame-assigning attitude was not just inaugural rhetoric; it has made its way onto the new White House agenda Web site. Under "Katrina," it boasts: "President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur." They also take a shot at the Bush administration on military contracts. They will "develop a strategy for determining when contracting makes sense, rather than continually handing off governmental jobs to well-connected companies."

For further proof of how bipartisanship and tolerance will work under Democratic rule, just read the news, hot off the presses, of Connecticut Democrats demanding an apology from Sen. Joe Lieberman for criticizing and failing to support Obama.

As events of the past week have shown, liberals are every bit as bad at winning as they are at losing.
