MICHAEL RUBINS SAYS that Mary Robinson should be investigated as a war criminal. He’s got the goods.

UPDATE: Reader William Sjostrom writes from Ireland with this observation:

In a decade in this country, I have endured countless smug lectures from Irish intellectuals on how much more reasonable their political system is than America’s. So, it gives me huge, immature, and vindictive pleasure to note that Sinn Fein, the closest thing Ireland has to a Nazi party (virulently nationalist, racist, although they deny that part, and anti-foreign, dedicated to the wildest dreams of socialism, and very big on using baseball bats on their opponents) got 6.5% of the first-preference votes, and 5 out of the 166 seats in the Irish parliament, in the Irish general election on Friday.

Perhaps someone can explain why the Wall Street Journal describes Sinn Fein as left-wing, whereas LePen is right wing.

I wait for Mary Robinson to denounce extremism in her own country.

Wait all you want, but don’t hold your breath while you do.
