Morons

So, after being "bold" and coming out with such a strong endorsement for John Kerry, the cowards at the Inquirer cover their tracks by endorsing Arlen Specter.

The Inquirer believes Specter should get another six-year term. Preserving the legality of abortion plays no small part in this decision. Sometime in the next four years, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee will very likely find himself in the pivotal role of scrutinizing at least one new Supreme Court nominee. Assuming that Republicans are in charge of the Senate, it would be better to have the chairman's seat filled by Specter, who says Roe v. Wade is "inviolate" as the law of the land. If Specter loses, next in line among Republicans to be chairman is Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, who opposes abortion rights.

This is the man who said:

President Bush was in Pittsburgh...and said I’m looking forward to having Arlen Specter as chairman of the Judiciary Committee because he thinks I can help get his judges, justices confirmed.


and


voted to confirm Chief Justice Rehnquist. I knew Justice Scalia was pro-life, I supported him. And Justice Kennedy. Remember Justice Clarence Thomas.
