I'm not sure what the flap is about. She only called John Edwards a piece of firewood.

But I think everybody should say whatever they want -- including slurs and insults as they wish -- without having to take 12-step programs for it. It's called free speech. When did we get so delicate?

And fintstone is right -- the fake tenderness to insult on the Left is laughable. Hate is their stock in trade. Try a visit to Daily Kos or Huffington Post. If they aren't calling Michelle Malkin a "gook slut" the're lamenting the failed assassination of Dick Cheney. And has anyone noticed the charming level of political comity exemplified by the two bloggers that John Edwards recently hired, didn't hire, fired, rehired, denied hiring, and denied firing?

Lovely crowd, what? Let's have faith they can "unite" the country.
