Really? Which ones? When she said that Obama was anti-American? When she said the media should do an expose on Congress and find out who’s pro-America and anti-America? When she claimed to be fighting tyranny in Washington?

Probably the thing about how her church believes that [the Pope is the Antichrist](http://www.wels.net/cgi-bin/site.pl?2617&collectionID=795&contentID=4441&shortcutID=5297).

It’s true, but it’s not fair to hold it against her, in the same way that Jeremiah Wright’s shtick shouldn’t have been held against Obama. She’s not a church elder.

All right, what do you have to say for yourself, Mr. “indictment pending”?

I trust I am not required to regard sparkling, witty wordplay with the same gimlet eye as a “bad pun”. Mad Dog 20/20 is not champagne, after all.

Last I heard, Nancy Reagan spoke up to say that FDR was one of Ronald Reagan’s heroes and that RR would absolutely not want to replace him on the dime. I think they dropped it after that.
