Julie Saltman on the Schiavo case:This is not a legal debate. This is a religious one, at least for those on the parents' side. For these people, it's about God. Until the press, not to mention the religious right, can tell the difference between being religious and being ethical we're going to have lots more trouble like this."
Billmon on Joe Scarborough: We're talking about a guy for whom becoming a hack Republican Congressman was an intellectual step up in the world. A man so dense the words on his law school diploma are written in Pig Latin. A man so stupid he feels intimidated by all the smart girls -- like Terri Schiavo.
Marshall Whitman on Tubegate:One of conservatives' favorite novels was Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. The book marvelously provided a not so fictional account of liberalism run amok. The novel perfectly dissected the perils of an ideology that has gone off the rails.
Debbie Daniels, at RenewAmerica, still not getting it:
Even a novelist with the skills of Wolfe could not have invented the political circus that is now surrounding the Schiavo tragedy. The story line of the convergence of the conservative demagogues like DeLay, Santorum and Randall Terry with the political ambulance chaser Jesse Jackson could only have been conjured up by the most fertile mind. Where is the Reverend Al when you need him?He's become a ONE-MAN-POSSE. When even those of his own party question him, the cowboy gets on his horse and rides alone. He's on a mission to get the job done. I'm convinced that gratitude, for some people, takes time. But the Iraqis, the Afghanis, and the Lebanese people are quite grateful to a man called George, and they don't hesitate to show it.
Josh Marshall on Tom DeLay:When Democrats go corrupt, they betray their principles. And certainly it's happened enough times. With someone like DeLay, there are no principles to betray. It's just money and power from the git-go. And really that means just power. A cash-and-carry operation.
Heh.
