Mark Levin responds to Palm Beach Post communist, I mean columnist:

Congrats!!! That was some column ... drawing an analogy between Krischer's treatment of Rush and the treatment of the Iraqi prisoners. I mean, connecting two completely different events into a single moral lesson ... that's the true sign of a great literary mind.

Let me give it a try, if I might. John Kerry has called for Donald Rumsfeld's resignation because -- as best I can tell -- of his failure to inform Congress about the prison abuses in a timely manner. And yet, Kerry himself has insisted that he committed atrocities while in Vietnam, of a nature far worse than any prison guard in Iraq. I suppose I could write one hell of a column about that.

Or maybe I could write a piece about Ted Kennedy, leading the anti-war charge these days, and among the loudest critics during last week's Senate hearings. Oh, what a target of opportunity -- Kennedy's multiple run-ins with the law, on one occasion resulting in the death of a young lady, juxtaposed with his stated concern for the well-being of Iraqi prisoners. God, how much fun I could have with that.

Then there's Robert Byrd, the former KKK happy warrior, lecturing Rumsfeld about proper human behavior and senatorial etiquette. Oh, what fun you could have.

Feel free to use any of these examples in your next literary masterpiece. Otherwise, some people might mistaken you for a partisan hack with a pen.
