Oh Boy

I'll finish up comments about last night's wild unveiling of the Danish cartoons, but that'll have to wait until I finish my Latin homework. In the interim, enjoy this selection from "Best of the Web:"

'This Is Not a Car'
The Washington Post's Al Kamen quotes form a speech by the Senate minority leader during the immigration debate last week (last item, ellipsis in original):

"Mr. President, no matter how many times I call this lectern a car, it does not matter, this is not a car," Reid said. "This is a lectern, used here in the Senate for us to put our papers on and deliver a speech. This is not a car. If I come to the Senate floor and, day after day, hour after hour, call this a car, it is not a car. It is a lectern. If I come to this Senate floor day after day and say what the Democrats have done is unusual, unwarranted, unbelievable, it is wrong, it is as wrong as this lectern being called a car.

" . . . The leader and I have gone back and forth so many times today that we are beating paths to our offices. There is no need that we--I apologize to the chair and to Senator Byrd. I hope he's not watching. My BlackBerry. It went off a couple times, and I lost my concentration. I hope this legislation will move forward tomorrow. I know people feel that this lectern is a chair, but it is not. This is the Senate."

Who says the Democrats don't offer a clear alternative?

Wow. Harry's scary.
