“I have lots of options for the future”

Sharron Angle, the failed 2010 GOP nominee for Harry Reid’s Senate seat, who suggested “second amendment remedies” to Obama’s policies, used air quotes around the word “autism,” mocked the concept of paid maternity leave because ”I’m not gonna have any more babies,”  who told a roomful of Latino students “ look a little more Asian to me”, who once belonged to a third party whose literature referred to gays as “sodomites” and “brazen perverts,”  and who once fled her own press conference without answering any questions, has not ruled out a 2012 presidential run. She’s in Iowa–a traditional testing field for would-be runners–this week, previewing a comically un-self-aware creationist movie.

So much for a new tone

Today, we owe a debt to Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN). Only he had the courage to take to the podium and speak the truth that our national healing cannot begin until each and every one of us, on the right and left and every point in between, look deep inside ourselves and admit, We Are All Nazis.
