A light in the wilderness....at least for today.
Imagine my surprise to find a column in World Net Daily that was actually sensible and reasonable (sort of).
Ilana Mercer's takedown of Michele Malkin's book In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in World War II and the War on Terror is a stinging rebuke. (via Atrios who lifted it from TBogg)
Mercer considers herself, "to her (Malkin) right on America's immigration disaster, but I also support rational profiling. And by the latter, I don't mean stripping frail, white old ladies down to their Depends. I'd like to see Malkin's God – government – permit private-property owners to defend their property and clients to the fullest, rather than have to get in line for a state-appointed sky marshal with a Taser gun".
Okay... so she's not a "light in the wildnerness" as my title suggests...but it's fun to read the column. She completely eviscerates Malkin's book on the basis of the Fifth Amendment...a worthy exercise indeed. She also tears into Malkin for her appearance on Hardball where she accuses Kerry of intentional self-inflicted wounds for his first Purple Heart.
This is going to be a major catfight. Malkin is probably sharpening her claws as we pixel. Watching the righties cannabilize each other is good sport.
