ED DRISCOLL: In the future, everyone will be a Klansman for 15 minutes. And Steve Cohen’s already had his turn under the sheets.

I’ve always liked Steve Cohen — perhaps because he got me great tickets to see John Fogerty’s first performance in more than a decade, at Mud Island back in 1986. But his behavior in smearing the Tea Partiers as Klansmen, especially after the racist and anti-semitic attacks that Cohen himself has endured from his Democratic primary opponents, is really quite disappointing.

Meanwhile, a lot of Tea Party folks seem to like Vernon Parker.

UPDATE: “The wrong kind of white people.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Moe Lane now regrets defending Cohen when Cohen was attacked by other Democrats. “PS: (Republican) Charlotte Bergmann for Congress. She doesn’t hate people.”
