Day three of this little firestorm, with no sign of abating.

The longer it goes on, the more I enjoy it. And notice how few fellow Democrats are eager to jump to King Hussein's defense. Members of the MSM have rushed to Barky’s side, of course, like all good lickspittles, but congress critters? Ah, the sound of silence; or rather, the faint rustle that represents the gnashing of teeth.

You see, the more the White House tries to spin it, the more they lose. They can't see that the spin makes it worse. On Friday, King Hussein endorsed the ground zero mosque without a doubt. Anyone who reads the remarks can easily draw that conclusion.

But the spin is even better: King Hussein was only endorsing freedom of religion - but he wasn't commenting on whether the mosque is a good idea or not.

Well, King Hussein, why not comment on whether it's a good idea or not? I mean, you've certainly caused a dust-up. Why not settle the matter of your position once and for all? Wouldn't it be easy to say that while you respect Muslim's religious freedoms, that considering the nature of 9/11 and Islam's history, a mosque at ground zero is not appropriate? But of course, he won't say this.

And so the spin continues, and the longer it continues the more people will draw the obvious conclusion: King Hussein personally believes in it, but knows that to say so is political suicide.

And they can then draw one more conclusion: This man is hiding something about his true beliefs because it is politically dangerous for him to acknowledge them. And those beliefs are so counter to the interests and beliefs of the citizens of this country that they make him unfit to serve as president

He’s going on a 10 day vacation.

He’ll eat ice cream.

We’ll get to see the pictures.

The MSM will make belive that the mosque controversy

never happened.

It won’t work.

People care about this since we all were attacked on 9/11.

I can see November from a dripping ice cream cone.
