re: #3 Charleston Chew

I can agree that treating injured people is one of the least morally questionable things people can do, so I have no problem with saying nice things about hospitals, doctors, etc.

Hospital photo-ops fall into a more morally ambiguous area. Maybe it’s good to publicize things like this. On the other hand, Voight wouldn’t be the first person to selfishly use a bedside photo op to burnish his own rep. Not sure what his motivation is so I won’t pass judgement on it.

He’s right when he says,

But I think Israel and its supporters need to be wary of its friends as well as its enemies. This will sound cheesy, but it reminds me of a line from Goodfellas (1990):

That’s a good line, but the good news there is that Voight’s not one of those fundie nutjobs. He’s made an error getting that close to the Tea Party, but he’s not a crazy.
