All These Problems

Robert Novak tries to spin the Impo-Trent mess. The spin seems to be that: 1) Impo-Trent was just being festive at a feeble old man's birthday, and 2) Democrats are better about rallying around their morally corrupt.

Whatever.

I'm sorry, but it hardly makes it better that Impo-Trent didn't think anyone would pay attention to "offhand" comments at a feeble old fool's birthday party. In a way, isn't it worse to know that this is how Impo-Trent would behave in a relaxed, festive setting?

Because, as Paul Greenberg points out, his use of the term "all these problems" has a very definite meaning in the Old South.

Sorry, Novak, but it's more damning that Impo-Trent thinks in this manner in a relaxed setting.

Impo-Trent needs to go.
