THE MESSIAH BREAKS NO LAWS. HE IS THE LAW.
So, let's recapitulate:
A right-wing blog claims Obama broke Illinois ethics laws by working as a lecturer and lawyer while also being a state senator.
The right-wing ATP&N crowd jumps on the story.
The left-wing ATP&N crowd demonstrates conclusively that the Illinois ethics law doesn't bar outside economic opportunities by legislators, so long as those opportunities don't represent a conflict of interest for the legislators.
So, what is the right's response. Was it,
"Sorry, I was wrong in this case." ???
or
"I shouldn't have blindly believed this blog without checking it out first." ???
or
"I should have known it was too good to be true." ???
No. None of that. The right, with it's usual intellectual honesty, starts bleating the "Messiah" line.
Thanks for showing your integrity.
