Quote of the Day:

 "According to Der Spiegel, the NSA has been going through the phones, computers, and who knows what else of European Union officials. If European politicians were any angrier, they would be commenting on Daily Kos. They're so mad, Islamic Rage Boy is telling them to calm down. Alec Baldwin is imploring them to not lose their temper...

As an American, I'm not particularly bothered by the NSA giving a technological colonoscopy to every electronic gadget used by every European diplomat. That's just good old-fashioned intelligence-gathering. The U.S. Constitution's Fourth Amendment doesn't say Jacques merde about unreasonable searches on foreign officials.

Of course, it doesn't bother me because I'm not a European diplomat and I never really thought Obama was the embodiment of hope and change. If I had gone to that big rally in Berlin in 2008 and told my constituents that this president really was the polar opposite of George W. Bush in all the ways that mattered to those kumbaya-minded Europeans, well… yeah, I'd feel like a fool, too." --Jim Geraghty
