Today's Neal Starkman Award, given to Seattle liberals who think their political views are evidence of superior intelligence, goes to Rev. Stephen Sundborg, a Jesuit priest and president of Seattle University. This is Sundborg's attempt to explain why Seattle residents seem less interested in helping out with homeland security than people in other cities:
"I think that Seattle, and the Puget Sound, is a very intelligent population," Sundborg said. "The reluctance to volunteer is an issue of credibility with homeland security. I think we're having a hard time sorting out the threats against the U.S. with the underlying problem of how we're viewed outside the U.S."The same mindest would explain why the Seattle Post-Intelligencer thinks it's intelligencer than the rest of us.

There was a whole gaggle of these beings of superior intellect in the Seattle Times letter section yesterday. Their mighty brainpower had lead them to the conclusion that we got what we deserved in Fallujah. Wow! Talk about an original idea.
Of course these superior beings get to say anything they want and then get to sit back above the fray. It's OK for that Seattle Times editorial page demigod, Doonsbury, to hang the label "Brown Sugar" on Condi Rice without the NAACP descending on them like a ton of bricks. But then again the NAACP probably thinks Rice is acting white.
