Larry Klayman, Bush Policy, and the New America
It used to be that fringe candidates for Congress could say something reckless and outrageous without being taken seriously. Now, who knows?

Larry Klayman, the former head of the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, is seeking the Republican nomination for Bob Graham's Senate seat and arguing for a hard line against Cuba. Actually, he may be arguing for making Cuba the 51st state.

A couple of years ago, way back when the United States had a reputation for seeking diplomatic solutions to foreign-policy problems, people would have considered Mr. Klayman's proposal eccentric, or worse. Now, who knows?

With Cuba, President Bush can use his "What Difference Does It Make" Doctrine, which defines wanting things as having things. It's easy to imagine Colin Powell showing off aerial photographs of Cuban banana trucks at the United Nations and talking about the likelihood that they really were mobile laboratories for biochemical agents.

Klayman is a Bush lapdog, and the fact that anyone in the U.S. takes him seriously, like Katherine Harris, shows us how far we've fallen since Clinton left office.

2. I caught part of the Judicial Watch radio program today in the car
it was unbelievably disgusting - they actually had commercials selling their "updates on JW's efforts to hold Bill and Hillary accountableA". It's beyond sad, it is major-league sick.

3. They claim to be "non-partisan"
They filed one case against Cheney, and hundreds against the Clintons, so I guess that makes them non-partisan.

That and Klayman running as a far right Republican. :)
