There were few people in America happier to wake up and find that Rand Paul won and Arlen Specter lost.

I DO think we should give him credit where it is due, though. I have precious little I congratulate the man for, but he did shepherd Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court, and stood up to the race baiters in the Anita Hill camp with real heroism. For that, he deserves our thanks.

It seems to have been an accidental occurence, though. Nothing in his consequent record suggests he had much of a commitment to anything other than getting Arlen Specter re-elected. I don't think I will join Milbank in grieving in his colossal misjudgment this time. Good riddance.

Ever hear the saying “one awww sh*t can wipe out 100 atta boys”? In Specter’s case, “one atta boy does not wipe out 30 years of awww sh*ts”.
