David Frum, the former Bush speechwriter and conservative author, posted a rather easygoing response to the arrest of ACORN nemesis James O'Keeffe and three cohorts in Sen. Mary Landrieu's office yesterday, concluding by urging that they be sent off to journalism school (as punishment?).I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict: the James O’Keefe/Landrieu phone interference case will be resolved with a very stern talking to by a judge, no criminal record, and 100 hours of community service each for the four arrested young people. Which seems about right. After which … you know there really IS a case for aspiring journalists going to journalism school!
As we've learned from Frum, there is axil of evil, and college Republican pranks and even though they've likey committed Federal felonies in the course of their pranks, they should get a pass.
ReplyDeleteFurther confirmation that laws do not apply to Republicans political opertives. See Scooter Libby/Dick Cheney/Iran-Contra and so forth.
