Tony Perkins Won't Challenge Vitter

By W. James Antle, III on 3.13.09 @ 1:36PM

Family Research Council President Tony Perkins has announced he won't challenge Louisiana Sen. David Vitter in 2010:

"I am grateful for those who've encouraged me to consider returning to elected office, but this is not the right time," wrote Perkins in a letter to state party chairman Roger Villere. "Along those lines, I would like members of the State Central Committee to know that I support Senator David Vitter's bid for reelection in 2010."

Vitter has got his share of problems, but now a prominent socially conservative challenger -- who once drew 10 percent in an open primary for Senate in Louisiana -- isn't one of them.

Good. Tony Perkins is an idiot. We have enough idiots in the Senate already.

It's a real shame. He was great in "Psycho".

Obama's Miranda Madness

Less than an hour into the interrogation of the Christmas Day "underwear bomber," the U.S. Justice Department instructed FBI agents to advise Abdulmutallab — an al Qaeda operative from Nigeria — of his Miranda rights. Shockingly, interviews since have yielded "no actionable intelligence."

Stop plea bargaining with terrorists!
