SPEAKING OF GUNS: A bunch of people have emailed me about this Richard Cohen column for this rather offensive line: “I am, like all reasonable people, in favor of the tightest restrictions on guns.” (Emphasis added). Sadly, Cohen probably sincerely believes this statement to be true.

But that’s not the story. The story is that Cohen is endorsing armed pilots, more or less. Which means that by listening to Norman Mineta and Tom Ridge, Bush has managed to get himself to the left of Richard Cohen on guns!

I agree with Jim Glassman. There’s something seriously wrong at the White House. It certainly gives this conversation reported by Matt Welch more credibility.
