LETTING THE CRAZIES SET POLICY: Rep. Peter King to introduce bill making it illegal to carry a gun within 1,000 feet of ‘high-profile’ government official. Not smart. If the House GOP passes hysterical, dumb gun laws, they can look forward to more primary challenges in 2012. Show a little backbone, Pete. Speaker Boehner did.

UPDATE: A sensible reply: “I’d like to see legislation banning Congress from coming within 1,000 feet of my paycheck.”
