I always like discovering great quotes or arguments from old blog posts that I missed when they first came out. Just due to the nature of the blogosphere, even the best posts tend to sink into the morass, such that if you don’t see it within the first few days of their posting, you’re never going to see it at all. Hence, finding a gem in an older post (usually when another blogger dredges it back up as a “favorite”) is a real treat–like stumbling across buried treasure.

So, with that said, I thank Shakespeare’s Sister (guest-blogging at Political Animal) for resurrecting this one-timer:

[I]f Jesus were around today and a woman taken in adultery ran to him for protection and he said to the crowd, Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone, forty-six Republican adulterers would bean her with rocks.

The Shakespeare’s Sister post itself (I’m sorry, but I can’t bring myself to abbrieviate it “SS”) is also worth a read.
