Coming from you, Leo, this is indeed a compliment. As for engaging in personal attacks, you, my Clinton-loving pal, cannot be touched, at least on this list.

Wait a minute. You fill post after post with your private feelings about the attacks (while attacking others using the dead as your shield), but felt the above wasn't "necessary" to tell us here? I think what you did was commendable, but it doesn't excuse your crass use of the tragedy to bash those whose politics you abhor.
And what of my other comments, Leo?

Any comments? And what of the ethnic cleansing of Serbs that followed the bombing you hail as humanitarian? Any thoughts?
