Really? Name a case where a GOP suspect threw something at a guard and was charged with a felony by a Dem prosecutor. I’ll wait.

@Om,

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. 😉 *

*For those out there who are scratching their heads, this is a running joke from “The Princess Bride”.

John Hinderaker of powerlineblog says the Republicans did not give away the store. From his lips to God’s ear. He does tend to be optimistic though.

I question that, because it implies there was a “before” time when they were not.

But just turn that scenario around on the parties. Dems have done all those things and get away with it – night-time raids, wild overcharging, “show” trials etc. Not necessarily claiming that automatically means it is what Pirro should have done but I’m not going to smugly tut-tut about it. The reason for the acquittal was the venue and jury, not Pirro’s tactics.

Released to “house arrest” Friday, now one week after her first purported “suicide” attempt (by drowning?), she’s back in hospital with yet another (by sleeping pills?). Clownshow doesn’t begin to describe the Israeli judicial arrangements.

SNAP snafus: disparate courts, disparate plaintiffs, disparate respondents, disparate handlings, yet oddly similar thumbs on scales, eh wot?
