In Passing

In Passing
Poseurs

Who is more conservative -- John McCain, or his primary rival, J.D. Hayworth?
Hint: Only nine of 55 Republicans scored lower than McCain, including Arlen Specter, who later joined the Democratic Party, and Lincoln Chafee, who retired from the Senate and endorsed Barack Obama for president.

Obama Czar John Brennan: 20% of Terrorists Going Back to Battle to Kill Americans "isn't that Bad"

Obama’s New OIC Envoy Defended Activist Who Aided Terrorist Group

Yes, people make mistakes on the campaign trail, and can easily substitute a fact circlating in their mind for something else.  Like Gerald Ford's "Poland  is independent and autonomous from the Soviet Union." debate gaffe, where he clearly meant to say "Maryland is ... .

The article on the 3 Chicago machine boys found dead of apparent suicides reminds me of Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, the rat who became state's evidence against several Murder, Inc. hitmen.

Abe somehow made his way out of the window of the highrise where he was being held in protective custody by law enforcement.

As the late Joe Valachi (himself a mob rat) noted, "Ain't no one thought that Reles went out that window on his own" - or words to that effect.

Reles became known as the canary who could sing but who couldn't fly.
