Byron York at The Washington Examiner made a top ten list of the dumbest things people have said about the new law to fight illegal immigration in Arizona. It must have been tough to pick only ten. In the interest of bipartisanship, he might have included this bit of hysterical idiocy from Republican Congressman Connie …

AP spins Republican debate
You can always count on the AP to show some of their liberal bias when they report on a Republican event, and their report on the debate held last night in Miami by the Univision Spanish language network is no exception.

Oregon judge joins in abuse of boys

Clinton – four brass ones
We were going to comment on the absolute nerve of Bill Clinton (and Hillary!) in criticizing President Bush for his commutation of Scooter Libby’s prison sentence.

It has a tendency to turn people who appear to be otherwise decent, normal Americans into arrogant, out-of-touch gasbags. Illustrating the point, Republican Senator Lindsay Graham, speaking in March to the liberal …
