DeLay Apologizes; Rudolph Doesn't

We think it significant, or at the very least coincidentally interesting, that on the same morning we're reading that Tom DeLay regrets saying that retribution is coming to American judges ... we're also reading that Eric Robert Rudolph remains brazenly proud of his bombings of an abortion clinic, a gay nightclub, and Olympic Park in Atlanta. Rudolph released a "rambling," 11-page statement that said he set off his bombs to strike out at a "morally corrupt government" that allows abortion and homosexuality. Rudolph, in pleading guilty, apparently avoids the death sentence. DeLay, in apologizing (more or less), is hoping to avoid being booted from his leadership role in the Republican Party. Both are accomplished incendiaries who believe their interpretations of American "freedom" allow them to terrorize the rest of us.

From such, turn away.
