Chris Matthews devoted a whole five minutes of his show tonight to a tearjerking eulogy for Tom Lantos.
That tells me all I need to know about Lantos.
How many commentators, on- or off-screen, will want to remind us of the total commitment Lantos made to the cause of the FBI and the BATF during the Waco hearings? Or the excuses he made for the contrived "taking babies out of incubators" testimony (later proven false) given to his committee after the first Gulf War?
The guy had high ideals, you have to admit: Communists and Nazis were all wrong, but JBTs in our own gummint are always right.
RIP, wherever he's going.
