I am disgusted beyond words at the actions of the Scottish courts.

Once again, it illustrates how those on the left are falling over themselves, showing compassion to scumbag terrorists, while flipping the bird to the victims of terrorists.

Disgusting. Purely disgusting.

You make the point a lot more diplomatically than the WSJ does (no surprise there) but both are dead on.

Kennedy doesn't like the rules so he wants to change them.

Which, in and of itself, is not that big of a deal. Until one learns that the rule in question is one Democrats insisted on back when it was to their benefit to do so.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Democrat...

To be fair, that should probably read, "Hypocrisy, thy name is 'Politician'" but the point couldn't be made as well. :D

Michale.....

Do you write for Fox News under the pen name, Dana Perino? :D

Reading that, it sounds like it could have been written by you! :D

Interesting reading.

As far as the subject of the commentary. While I hesitate maligning someone so close to death, I have never been a fan of the Kennedys. I respect the achievements of Kennedy and recognize all his contributions. But, there is a definite aura of "royalty" about them. Like they are entitled to the afore mentioned respect, no because of what they have accomplished, but rather because of who they are.

The "Windmill" saga is but one example of this and these latest actions simply confirm it. They push a law to cover one situation that benefits them and then ask that it be disregarded when it becomes inconvenient.

Michale.....

OK, I am working through the comment backlog, and apologize once again for my tardiness. I went back to "The Effectiveness of Yelling" and have worked my way up to two days ago. If you commented on anything in the past few weeks, go back and take a look to see if I've responded. I still have two columns (with LOTS of comments) left to tackle, but I'm taking a break to go watch the news, so they'll have to wait until later tonight.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I'm getting fully back up to speed here again, and I have not been ignoring your comments in the meantime, I just haven't had a moment to respond, that's all.

Today's column was a tough one to write, but it's been at the back of my mind for a while, and Kennedy's letter pushed it to the forefront.
