Shield your eyes:

Republicans are quickly lining up to support Mr. Rove, while Democrats are calling for his head. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has called for Rove's resignation--a silly suggestion from a silly man.

First of all, did JK call for Rove to resign, or for W to fire him? Currently it's the latter, and I think that's what it always was.

It gets better. Later on Mr. Female-aide-found-dead-in-his-office said this:

But there is nothing funny about the Republican's treatment of the Rove affair.

Assuming Rove leaked a CIA agent's identity to Time Magazine, GOP leaders should be lining up to condemn the White House Wizard's actions.

Why? Because they would have shredded a Democratic administration for outing an undercover CIA agent during a time of war.

Imagine Bill Clinton's top political advisor leaking a CIA agent's identity because of the actions of the agent's spouse. Republicans, including yours truly, would have been demanding that official's resignation at once.

Now, note the title of the article is "DC double standards" and he is basically calling politicians and the media "hypocrites."

Uh, may want to look in the mirror, Joe. And SANITY-CHECK your friggin' columns! (Does he even read what he writes?)

So...

What's the best way to respond to this folks? It just seems silly to e-mail the ex-Congressman himself. But is this about as blatantly stupid as you can imagine? Or is he just calling himself "a silly man"?
