A smart Republican presidential candidate will make a big deal out of this story, and promise to do something about it (such as reining in the BATF). It won’t be Rudy, though.

Burt Prelutsky has some thoughts. I have to dispute this particular point, though, because it continues to nurture the myths of that incident:

Al Maliki has asked Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin to “come to their senses.”

In all its incandescent lunacy and glory.

This is sedition (not to mention a profound misunderstanding of the Constitution and the basis of this country’s government). But then, how would an idiotic Brit visiting here be expected to know? No need to arrest him. Just deport him.

Better yet, ridicule him, as he so richly deserves. I just wish that it would have any effect on such a moron.

Highway robbery. Literally. By your government.

Radley Balko has a righteous rant on what Mark Twain called American’s only native criminal class–Congresspeople. I wouldn’t go quite as far as this commenter, though:

I think I’d actually vote for Jar Jar Binks before most of our current senators.

“Jar-Jar in ’08!”
