One way to make their lack of virtue less harmful to the public is by limiting their power. That was one of the main reasons for a limited government. I fear the belief that we need better representatives to handle the power we have given government, will always lead to diappointment.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
It looks like you have your work cut out for you, Rick. So many mosquitoes, so few swats.

DID AHMADINEJAD ACTUALLY WIN THE ELECTION?
It doesn't matter -- Iran doesn't need a change of puppets -- it needs revolution. I'm one who doesn't believe there is some mystical affinity with tyranny that we don't understand (not saying you proposed this, but some have implied as much). I've talked with Iranians who have lived here for awhile -- they are humans just like we used to be (: who love freedom. The present puppet has support because he has great power under the Supreme God-Like Person -- if they had a free country and a vibrant, diverse economy, and better music, the present puppet couldn't be elected to dog-catcher -- he's a not-so-bright maniac.

Letterman's explanation reminds me of the Alabama defendent accused of statutory rape of a 13 yr old girl -- "I'm sorry your honor, she had the body of a 15 year old."

One thing is true regarding attacking Obama and gang, there is enough legitimate criticisms of their tactics, ideology, policies and arrogance to go forever without once mentioning patriotism.

CONOR FRIEDERSDORF AND HIS ABOMINABLE STRAWMEN
Whoops, I wrote too soon.

I don't think he was making a moral equivalence argument between the two, or even suggesting that Obama would do something like this, but, rather, asking IF this happened, would the "terrorist hawks" be as supportive of it as they are civil liberty violations in the name of fighting Islam extremist terrorism. I think Friedersdorf's point is that the "terrorist hawks" are blinded by the particular instance of Islamic terrorism, and that they would think differently if police state tactics were used against free people who are more like them just because some of these people like them have committed terrorist acts.

OBAMA OUTFLANKS GOP WITH SOTOMAYOR PICK
Michael Reynolds,
Excellent regurgitation of a meaningless cliche.

I'm not sure why the Republicans shouldn't fight the nomination since she is obviously not the best choice for the Supreme Court. She doesn't have the wisdom or temperament, and she's too activist for that position -- this would be just as true if she was a right-wing zealot.
