From the notoriously biased Associated Press reporter Jennifer Loven, comes this fair and balanced dispatch on the Iraqi elections:

President Bush hailed Thursday’s voting in Iraq as “a major milestone” in establishing a democratic ally for the United States in the Middle East and moving toward the day when American troops can come home.

The appearance of a buoyant Bush in the Oval Office alongside six smiling young Iraqis displaying purple-stained fingers was an attempt to capitalize on any positive news in Iraq.

Did the AP similarly editorialize about Sen. Joe Biden’s surprise visit and ink-stained-finger photo-ops in Iraq today?

Didn’t think so.
