    "One of the things that we know about law enforcement, besides the fact that most cops and most prosecutors are good people and they follow the law..."

    I foresee some pushback against that in the comments section here.

    1. The Immaculate Trouser   13 years ago

      Hey, unlike libertarian-leaning Republicans (who we must always cast the worst motives upon), unionized cops deserve the benefit of the doubt.

      See if that stirs up the comments section, heh.

        He can say what he wants to about Palin though she is a red meat opiate for the leftist masses, the glib way he treated Cruz is bullshit. If he has a problem with Cruz, THATS the article he needs to write and spell it out instead of that the guilt by association crap. From what he wrote Cruz appears guilty of nothing more than speaking as a member of the Tea Party which may be a crime in HuffPo land but it is here that Nick draws his motherfucking salary.

    2. some guy   13 years ago

      51% counts as "most" right? I see no reason to argue with that statement.

    Welcome back, Nick! It's great to see you again.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but some guy in a jacket has been using your name and writing articles praising Chris Christie. You should definitely track down this guy and get a restraining order against him.

    Didn't watch the video. Is Nick arguing for NSA spying?
