I'm glad Tancredo is made of tougher stuff. If we used your standard as the standard as to when and what we would say, Rush wouldn't be on the air.
Nor Laura Inghram, Hugh Hewitt, Sean Hannity.............the list is endless.
Even President Bush would never step in front of a microphone.
Come on! We're Conservatives, and we are cleaning their clocks! Only one time before in the history of this Republic have people been witness to the death and disappearance of a whole political party. Watch and enjoy their verbal spasms. They are their death throes.
Not really.
Most of these guys are polished, they know how sound bites get turned, guys like Mike Crappo, to Don Nickles, to a Mike Pence, these guys know how to deal with the media (and normally, so does Tancredo) and they never get caught like this.
Either way, this is a non story that will be done with in less then a week.
