Something Someone Else Said

"You really think this kid can‘t be convicted? You really think we don‘t have enough evidence beyond the—beyond the, I don‘t know, 300 or so eyewitnesses who were on the plane? The fact that we have the weapon that he tried to use? The fact that he confessed? You think that‘s not enough to get this kid convicted? You have that little faith in our criminal justice system? That little faith in the rule of law? You don‘t believe that a supermax federal American prison is capable of holding this kid?

You think it might be cool, instead, to martyr this kid as some impressive soldier, instead of some idiot confused rich kid who couldn‘t even handle blowing up his own junk with a bomb that was secreted in his own underpants? We‘re supposed to take national security advice from you guys? Really?" - Rachel Maddow, on the Republican party's natural inclination to embrace panic and fear over the failed Christmas day underwear bombing attempt aboard Northwest flight 253. It's all they have to offer now.

I'd like to see someone stuff a "Fruit of the Boom" down the mouth of one of these Republicans.

Calm, Leslie, calm. Maybe start with some edible panties and work your way up to the explosive drawers.
