Doesn’t the rule we all learned as children apply here:”Jacks, jacks no trade backs!”

“...As recounted on this evening’s Hardball...”

Wow! You doubled Matthew’s viewing audience by watching the loon-O-supporter.

For shame.

Does everyone understand how effectively Arlen Specter neutered himself for us?

Last week he was one of the biggest thorns in our side, forever contributing comments that made black and white issues gray. And then...

1. He changed to the Democrat Party
a. Cannot speak on issues as a Republican any longer
b. Has lost his Senate Committee Seniority
c. Has become little more than a freshman Senator, with no clout

Folks, can we please start taking things away from McCain, Snowe, Graham, and others, so they can pull the same masterful trick? Please!

Remember O. Henry’s tale, The Ransom Of Red Chief? A couple of con men kidnap a rich banker’s son. The boy turns out to be a hellion who makes the kidnappers’ lives a living hell. By the end of the story, rather than paying a ransom, the boy’s father demands money to take the rascal back. So beleagured are the kidnappers that they pay up.

Funny story. O. Henry was very big on the ironic twist ending.

He thinks it wouldn't be fair to loose his seniority. He lost more then seniority, he lost any respect he might have had with the voters when he decided to be a turncoat!

No blaze of glory for him....more like shot down in flames.

I don’t think Reid COULD give Arlen full seniority.

What’s he going to do, kick a bunch of senior Democrat senators off of their committee assignments so he can put Arlen in their places?

It’s a choice between offending Arlen or offending maybe half a dozen or more senior Democrats.

And nobody likes a traitor.

After this post I’m not going to spend another minute worrying about the fate of Sen. Weasel, R-D-JrD-PA
