Thoughtful? Excellence?

IF JIM GILMORE SUBMITTED a budget that diverts transportation money, drastically cuts funding for arts and foundations, runs up billions in debt, raids the rainy day fund and gives no teacher raises next year, your editorial board might have to expand a page to include all its editorials opposing it.

That is an exact description of Gov. Kaine's budget proposal, yet the words you used in your Dec. 23 editorial were "thoughtful," "common sense" and "excellence." If you ever wondered where accusations of "liberal bias" are based, this is a good place to look.
