I’ve beaten up on Ed a little bit over his penchant for tossing Republicans under the bus.¬† But on Pelosi, he gets it right.

That said, I’m possibly going to start a bit of a blogfight with him by repeating myself from Called as Seen.¬†¬†It¬†is well past time to take off the gloves.¬† Furthermore, the situation may be reaching the point where actions like those of Ollie North may be justified.

Don’t believe me?¬† Compare Nancy Pelosi’s actions to those taken by Democrats in the 1980s, and see how similar the actions of today are to the actions that led Ollie North to come to the conclusion that he faced a choice between lies and lives.
