With a title like that, this should be a MUCH more interesting post.

Instead, I saw (via Digby), this quote:

The morning news on Fox just spent half an hour talking about it and came to the conclusion that this was a bigger issue than taxes and the war in Iraq. Then one wondered if the question had been on obesity, if it would have been appropriate for President Bush to bring up Elizabeth Edwards's "problems." I sure wish that all those moms and kids had heard that one.

Holy crap. I'm told that the quote comes from Liz Cheney, daughter of Dick and Lynne, sister of Mary. Basically, she just played the dozens on Emma Claire's mom. If I'm John Edwards, I'm looking to whup someone's Red ass, but John's probably a better, more tolerant man than I am.

You know what really worries me about November 3d? Neither side is going to be a good loser and as divided and angry as the country is - something I don't recall even in the heat of the hunting of Clinton - I can actually foresee more Tim McVeighs, more Sirhan Sirhans, more David Koreshs.

How screwed up are we right now? Armed resistance to the Federal government would not be something I would ever support, but it would not surprise me a damn bit.
