The honorable and eloquent Dr. Hanson makes a number of good points about many Republicans having strayed from their own principles and, consequently, now are paying the price.

But I have a slightly different question of the day which relates to not the Republicans paying a price, but rather, to the Obama administration’s paying of the price.

I’d like to know which of its members have Terrorist Insurance for themselves or their possessions. Or is that a state secret?

If they do, perhaps lil’ ole’ blond haired Rachel should invest in some extra protection for herself.

What a second.

Come to think of it, the mainstream media spurred on by their journalistic integrity must already have asked that question of the Obama administration. Perhaps I should just google the question and get the whole story from, say, the New York Times. Stupid me.
