Most left-leaning (and more than a few libertarian) websites were (understandably) upset over the asinine TIPS proposal put forth by the Bush Administration, under which millions of Americans would essentially become professional snitches.

The Washington Times, however, did note his actions, and praised him in today's editorial.
