Brilliant!
Ed Kilgore comes up with the one sure way, and perhaps the only way, for Arlen Specter to hold on to the Judiciary gavel.
Convert to Christianity …
About the only thing I can think of that would do the trick is for Specter to dramatically announce a conversion: no, not just to Movement Conservatism, or to the views of the Right to Life Committee, but to Christianity. Imagine the cries of joy that would ensue in Virginia Beach and Colorado Springs and other precincts of the theocratic Right! It would be like that scene in The Apostle when Billy Bob Thornton succumbed to the Call just as he was preparing to bulldoze Robert Duvall’s church! Victory is mine! Victory is mine!
I had a hard time resisting reprinting the whole post. See it here.
