QUOTE, UNQUOTE: Robert Scheer and Molly Ivins each had columns yesterday with partisanship scores much lower than usual. Ivins' The Orwell award and Scheer's How their big lie came to be were the usual predictably anti-Republican fare, but in each case administration figures were quoted several times, which at least allows readers an opportunity to consider the opposing position.
