Sarah sez




One in a series that takes a look at some of the zany and madcap things said by Sarah Palin.





"The issue of the Constitution is that the text is confusing because it was written more than 100 years ago and what people believe it says differs from person to person and differs depending on what they want to get done."

Actually, it was Ezra Klein of the Washington Post being interviewed today on MSNBC. Here's the clip.





To Klein's credit, it was written over 100 yrs. ago although some of it (amendments) were written more recently than 100 yrs. ago.

And what of this reading of the Constitution to open the 112th Congress? Klien's right - it is gimmicky. How the Republicans actually legislate is what will count.

Another great example of journolism at its finest.

I like Joyner's take on it.

More scary stuff. And you can be a constitutional scholar and still not believe it. This should be read instead of morning prayer.
