How to create the living dead

I WONDER HOW much better off we would all be today  if some people had been more concerned about the death toll in Iraq as they are in fussing over the death of a couple of living Americans.  First. Sen. Jim Bunning, the goofy Kentucky Republican who is the tormentor of his own party these days, predicted that  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg would be dead in 90 days; and now Rush Limbaugh has referred to President Obama's promise to reform America's health-care system as the "Kennedy memorial"  scheme for cancer-stricken Sen. Ted Kennedy, to which we would look to the U.S.  Army's special legal counsel during the McCarthy hearings for an appropriate response.  Sizzling with quiet indignation over Joe McCarthy's attacks on certain individuals As Commies, Joe Welch scorched the  Wisconsin red-baiting senator:

"Have you  no sense of decency, at long last?  Have you left no sense of decency?"

Keep those words in mind.  I'm sure there will be many more opportunities from the GOP's Great White Whale to recall them.)
