Endorsed by a Non-Endorsement

My goodness. In the course of its official editorial declining to endorse a candidate, Los Angeles Times says something nice about Mickey Kaus’ campaign for Senate in California:

We appreciate the challenge brought by Robert “Mickey” Kaus, even though he’s not a realistic contender, because he asks pertinent questions about Boxer’s “lockstep liberalism” on labor, immigration and other matters. But we can’t endorse him, because he gives no indication that he would step up to the job and away from his Democratic-gadfly persona.

I mean, it’s not much, but it’s something. Go, Mickey, go!
