The Empire of Vulgarity

In 1944, Franklin Delano Roosevelt opened his fourth-term speech with the "wish that the form of this inauguration be simple and its words brief". He spoke for a couple of eloquent minutes, then went off to a light lunch, his wartime victory almost complete as well.

We are talking about FDR in January 1944 right? The quote, "his wartime victory almost complete as well" is a very inaccurate statement from what I remember from reading history. Very inaccurate. Inaccurate to the point of re-writing this piece of history to make their point sound better.

FWIW this is as far as I've gotten into the article so far but from this I suspect this paper was not a fan of Bush. I suspect the paper is not concerned about honesty either.
