Gormogon operative MC writes to say:

The lovely and talented Operative SC brought this to my attention via The Corner late yesterday. It’s too bad this video didn’t make the rounds sooner, as the pro-life crowd wouldn’t have hung all their hopes on his ‘integrity’.

As someone e-mailed The Corner’s K-Lo yesterday, Stupak looked like “an overmatched pitcher in a baseball game hold off a much more formidable opponent only to surrender the game-winning home run in the ninth inning.” The only better analogy I could make would be to the 1919 Black Sox – he deliberately threw a hittable pitch in the ninth to lose the game.

Obama’s executive order won’t live through the first court challenge. My four-year-old could file a lawsuit against it in crayon and Holder will roll over and say “yeah, you’re right, we’ll rescind it”.

“Pro-life Democrat” is as fictional as the “Easter Bunny”. Stupak played a lot of people on the pro-life side for fools, but you can’t say he didn’t warn us – the “D-MI” was behind his name all the time.

The Czar cannot disagree, particularly with that last sentence. Stupak suggested he could only hold for so long. But Democrat Dan Lipinski—a total product of the Chicago political machine—managed to hold out all the way, along with three dozen Democrats and every single Republican. So that rings a bit hollow.

Also, the Czar quibbles not with the talented portion of SC’s respective skills, but prefers not to comment as to her loveliness, because really…if we start thinking of our operatives as actual people, we would be almost forced to start treating you better than we do.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
