One would love to have something original to say every time a Congressman or Senator makes an ass of himself. But it's such a common occurrence one can hardly catalog all such instances, never mind come up with something new to say about them.
Still, Rep. Tancredo has done himself proud with what is fairly or unfairly classified as a "nuke Mecca" comment.
A fair portion of Muslims have in one way or another shown themselves to be moral imbeciles by their failure to realize that the 9/11 crowd and the 7/7 crowd aren't their boys. This is a thing to be discouraged. Tancredo's implication is that Muslims, not just Koran-thumping (but not reading) homophobic fruit loops with an unseemly preference for manly company, are the enemy. We should be doing our best to separate the KT (bnr) HFLs (w/usPMC) from those mainstream Muslims who might show the way to a less threatening fellow civilization.
Hewitt (who is linked above) was making the point the other day about a right that is sensient and a left that is just angry. Plainly, this is a case where the sentient right can demonstrate that its disgust with Durbin lay in his idiocy, not his party affiliation. We ought pile on until Mr. Tancredo displays sufficient contrition, which if he's smart will be quickly forthcoming.
