Let's put things in perspective, did you think Palin would come out in support of the murder of doctors? I would be interested in knowing what she said about Tiller before he was killed. Bill O'Reilly named him "Tiller the Killer" and compared him to the Nazis and said, "something must be done!"

Well, something was done. And to-night O'Reilly and Hannity and Palin will all decry the violence they once helped incite.

If Palin should get credit for not celebrating the death of a health clinic worker, then that is no credit at all.

Her reaction was far better (and saner) that Randall Terry's.

Maybe but what office is Randall Terry running for?

According to the first sentence of his Wikipedia page (at least for now) he is apparently an American douchebag. I don't know if that title is elective, appointed, or merely honorary.

Hee hee... I wonder how long it will stay there...

In my mind, I don't get how the left which is angry about the warrentless wiretapping (and rightfully angry about it I might add. Obama is expanding the Bush policies on this issue to. what a load of huey) but then works hard to limit guns when the 2nd amendment is rather clear. It pisses me off both sides seem determined to limit our rights as american's, but they just concentrate on some rights, not others. Then again... I'm a Independent so both the left and the right hate my guts anyway.

I'm long on record as supporting gun control but saying it is best accomplished through the amendment process.

As for Sotomayor, I see nothing to indicate that she'll be a star of the court but nothing to suggest she'll suck. Seems pretty middle of the road in terms of qualifications. I have no real problem with her Latina statement since it is self-obvious even if impolitic when taken out of context.

But we often don't know ahead of time who will be good or bad, or even how they'll end up leaning politically.

Cheney's is finally admitting there's no link between 9/11 and Iraq. But now he's blaming it all on Richard Clarke. Uh, isn't that the guy who was repeatedly warning them about an attack?

WTF?

Jon Stewart settled that last night. Turns out he was blaming the host of American Bandstand.

That's funny. I'm watching that right now on Hulu.
