Piling on Arlen Specter? Why not? He’s been bad for so long that I did an NRODT hit piece on him years before John J.’s hit piece (mine was called, “A Frightful Specter”). He is an arrogant, friendless, disrespected operator who is purely out for himself. In his lame duck years, self-esteem can only come by sedulously cultivating the MSM, as the heroic bulwark against flat-earth Jesus freaks. Chairman Spector would be bad news–which is no news at all.
