...My dad! (he actually sent an email ... I've warned him away from the comments threads), who disagreed with my takedown of Timothy Egan's NYT op/ed.

Egan said it was hypocritical for the GOP to stand by Mike Huckabee in light of Huckabee's decision to commute Maurice Clemmons' sentence. I said it was hypocritical for liberals to make that case against Huckabee.

Nate Silver says the GOP won't stand by Huckabee, which just goes to prove that Republicans aren't being hypocrites.

My dad says this:

I think you're too soft on the issue. Dems are entitled to make comparisons. That's the way the game of politics is played. You too easily take the high road. Give em hell!
