James at OTB has two great links up you should check out. The first is this link to an Andrew Sullivan piece on why he (Andrew) still supports the war in Iraq. The second is this link to a story about “B1” Bob Dornan expressing interest in running for Congress again. That will get the usual lefty quarters screaming.

John,
Dornan is a certifiable lunatic. During the last era in which I had cable, I watched on C-SPAN, perversely fascinated, as Dornan delivered an impassioned speech in which he alleged Clinton was a Soviet mole. Problem was that the chamber was empty, save charladies, who, during cut-away shots, were clearly wondering whether this guy had two heads or three.
Days later, Dornan was on PBS’s NewHour, hotly demanding to know why no one had followed up the “Clinton-the-mole” charges, which were a matter of House record! Yep: because he put them there in the dead of night.
This is not a lefty vs. righty thing. Anyone who regards Dornan as a credible candidate must be fond of Reynolds Wrap.

Why should I get my knickers in a twist over Dornan?
The man’s a joke. He got 16% of the vote the last time out. If you read the linked story, you’ll find he’s thinking about running as a member of the American Independent Party, which is a California offshoot of the Constitution Party, which is a RW flake fringe group, and whose leadership doesn’t seem too pleased with the idea. So he’d be running as a candidate for a splinter group of a fringe group.
This is good for laughs, not angst.
