Ouch!

If you've looked at YouTube or cable news today you've seen the film of a John Kerry appearance at the University of Florida in which a student was tasered while trying to ask Kerry why he didn't contest the 2004 Presidential election. The officers' (placed on administrative leave, says MSNBC) reaction appears to have been completely out of proportion, but I can't help but be struck by how someone could be bold enough to ask Kerry that question while appearing not to have read a newspaper or watched TV in the last 3 years. Hey, we're at war in Iraq. Instead of worrying about Diebold, how about impeaching Michael Chertoff for the response to Katrina? Why wasn't there a move to impeach Gonzalez? This says something about where we are on the left. (Washington Post)
