INSTAPUNDIT IS A “BLITHERING
INSTAPUNDIT IS A “BLITHERING IDIOT” according to Wilmington, DE Mayor James Baker. OK, he didn’t single out Prof. Reynolds but the national media who were critical of the jump out squads. Instapundit blogged the police tactics a while back as evidence that DE was the root of all evil. (I concurred with Instapundit’s opinion but my little 50 hits/day blog doesn’t qualify me for “national media” status. Guess that means I’m less than an idiot) According to WDEL radio the ACLU representative did not appreciate being called a “blithering idiot”.
UPDATE: I heard a longer excerpt. He used the word “idiot” or a variation three times in the short section I heard, claiming that if the media didn’t think the police understood the Constitution they were all idiots. Let’s hope the police know the Constitution better than the Mayor; in the same speech, he stated that the 9th Amendment governs interstate commerce. A nice quote from the Mayor:
“Anybody who doesn’t like it can go to Hades,” he said. “You’re concerned about some innocent kook on the corner. Get a life.”
