Time to Grow Up, Part II

Some people really, really need a day job. Case in point, the Carpetbagger Report's hypersensitivty regarding House Republican Ted Poe, who (horror of horrors) quoted Confederate General and KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest's infamous dictum to 'get there firstest with the mostest'.

Are we now so frail that we cannot even quote bad people who said reasonable things because they were bad? Yes, Forrest wasn't much of a human being, but he was one hell of a cavalryman and his observations on military strategy are probably pretty good. The fact so many people can get worked up over such a minor thing makes me weep for this country.
