I mean, really. The fewer Communists running around on this side of the pavement, the better. They could have kidnapped and beheaded the whole Il Manifesto staff, and it wouldn’t have been a loss.
Or as the Daily Kock would say, screw her, screw ‘em. Oh, and Italy, if a bunch of bedwetting socialists over there nestled in your boot are bent out of shape about Giuliana’s driver’s inability to negotiate checkpoints, screw them in the nose sideways.
UPDATE:
Eric at Vince Aut Morire also has an interesting take…
