WHAT’S SAUCE FOR THE SENATOR ...

In an editorial titled "More Quitters (R-Fla., R-Tex.)," the Washington Post complains about (Republican) elected officials who quit posts to which they were elected.

Donald J. Boudreaux asks a very good question: “So why no mention of Barack Obama? Not only did he quit the Senate seat to which he was elected, but during much of the time he held that seat, he was away from Washington campaigning for higher office.”

Seen on a bumper sticker today.

Rather a ubiquitous bumper sticker; even in the Washington DC metro area.

Did I really read that correctly? Why, yes. Yes I did.

THE POST MISSES AGAIN

Richard Cohen, editorial writer for the Washington Post, is on the attack again. As usual, his aim is off by a country mile.

However ...

With a universal replacement of "Barack Obama" for "Sarah Palin" he'd be a lot closer to the target.
