Senate's 'Gang of 12' Steps in... (Santorum calls Dems "Nazis") [View All]

Kleine Ricky spracht:

Such comity already appeared scarce late in the day, when Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) said Democrats have violated a long tradition of letting judicial nominees reach up-or-down confirmation votes.

He then denounced "the audacity of some members to stand up and say, 'How dare you break this rule?' It's the equivalent of Adolf Hitler in 1942 saying, 'I'm in Paris. How dare you invade me?' " Several liberal groups called the remarks out of bounds.

Ah, I understand. When a TV spot comparing the Bush Boy to Der Führer slips through MoveOn's filter, the Republicans' high dudgeon hissy about how an advocacy group and the entire left-of-center population owes the GOP and Dear Chimpster an apology makes the front page of the daily papers and the network news.

But when Little Ricky does it, it gets relegated to the last paragraphs of a WaPo story on page A5.
