A perfectly legitimate line of questioning
[Read the article: National Review's new tough guy, Mark Hemingway]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Suppose I'm a serial liar and a coward. Would I be unqualified to express my desire for a President or Judge etc. that was honest and brave? Why must I embody the traits I long for in others?
--samson141
If you are a serial liar and coward and decry others for being serial liars and cowards, then you are a hypocrite, and that is the point here. Where do any of these people come off looking down their noses at the "wimps" of the left when they themselves seem to possess the attributes they are mocking?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]No, if I am able to recognize these failings in myself, I can also recognize them in others. Is a Doctor who smokes or is overweight unqualified to tell you that you shouldn't smoke or that you need to lose weight?
No, but a doctor who smokes and is overweight would have no business mocking a patient who was.
They real questsion (and I think it is the one Glenn is asking) is: Where do these people get off calling ours wimps when (1) ours are not and (2) their's are phony cowboys?
Yes, that's probably more accurate.
