Carl Levin ... bad American

Time to "Name That Schmuck!"

''Levin has been the most dedicated opponent to ballistic missile defense since President Reagan announced it. First objecting to its costs, next as a defender of the ABM Treaty long after the other principal party to it ceased to exist, and last as a sarcastic unbeliever in its science, Levin has served as the brilliant general of the liberals determined to leave America defenseless. Steadfast in opposing any ballistic missile defense, Levin has thrown roadblock upon roadblock in its path, and slowed the program from a rush to a crawl.'' It struck me that we are living through a magical moment.  You and me are sharing the exact same feeling - right now - as famous alien  Barbra Streisand (who will stand for the Hollywood Left).  We, all of us, are finding solace in our nation's tenuous ability to shoot Kim Jong Il's Ding Dong missiles out of the air, aren't we?  And China's.  And Iran's.   If you like being able to identify winners in life's Pillar of Ignorance and Stupidity pageant - and I do - then perhaps Sen. Carl Levin (D MI) has another trophy for his mantle of shame. Jed Babbin makes quite a case for it in Crazy Kim, Cozy Carl, and the Bow Wave.
