Gilad Shalit was taken prisoner on June 25, 2006. He has yet to have a single ICRC visit even though the Geneva Conventions require them. This is one of the many human rights violations that the Hamas regime has perpetrated and they deserve universal condemnation.
WTF is the flotilla of concerned lefties for Gilad Shalit?
How cum liberals who see thru the semi-disguised hate speech of a Pat Buchanan will swallow the same bag of morally reprehensible posthumous appeasement of evil from Nicholson Baker.

A better explanation than bias for why Weiner went down (perhaps not the best choice of words) and others did not:
No Congressman (two out of three of them Republicans–the others were Mark Foley and Chris Lee) with an internet related no sex-sex scandal has survived. The Congressional Leadership on both sides of the aisle is to freaked by hi-tech to cope with them (and the fact his colleagues Weiner didn't help him either)The rise and fall of Anthony Weiner | JTA – Jewish & Israel News www.jta.org
The thought of David Vitter resigning brings up nightmare visions of Senator Jindal; meanwhile America's senior right winger Brent Bozell, shares with us his delusion that the media is actually harder on GOPers with sex scandals.
BTW, Brent, have you ever wondered whether Foley’s scandal having involved minors for whom Congress was serving as en loco parentis might have had something to do with the especial harshness of his coverage?). Brent Bozell: Media Go Leaner on Weiner | CNSnews.com www.cnsnews.com
G-d himself intervened on Sullivan's behalf, and G-d lives in every district, even Nancy Pelosi's, so I guess that gives Sully a leg up on other self important out of district windbags like Kosher McCohen.

Andrea Peyser complains that Harry Reid eliminated "under G-d" when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Andrea dearest, Harry Reid, an extremely devout man, was not trying to be politically correct.
For chissakes, the man still uses the word ”Negro.”
Reid was born in 1939; he probably learned the pledge by rote in the early 40s.
"Under G-d" was added in 1954.
I learned this from my mom when I was a kid and we saw the shorter version while we were watching an old "Bowery Boys" film.
Things which you learn by rote as a child are hard to shake. It has been decades since they modernized the old Union Prayer Book, but I'm still saying "when though sittest in thy home, when thy walkest by the way, when thy liest down and when they risest up."
