WELL, UNLESS IT WAS USEFUL FOR THE DEMOCRATS’ NARRATIVE: No one would accept, in any other national discussion, the level of ignorance seen in the gun debate.

No one would cheer if a pundit said it’s easier to get a late-term abortion than Sudafed. His audience would ask to see his homework. No one would shrug it off if a legislator incorrectly referred to a “trimester” as a “semester.” No one would ignore it if a pro-life senatorial candidate explained his position on abortions in cases of rape and incest with a response that included something about the human body rejecting “legitimate rape.”

Hell, no one would accept this level of ignorance from a traffic report. If a journalist referred to a pickup truck as an “auto-style speedbox,” he would rightly be laughed off the air.

Well, unless it was useful for the Democrats’ narrative.
