My friend Rep. Tom Tancredo is in hot water for his remarks about how we should react in response to an Islamist nuclear attack. Jack Kelly, Captain Ed and Hugh Hewitt respond. Hugh says Tancredo’s statement “is the most irresponsible statement any American official can make.”

Right. On.
Democrats are now calling on Rove to apologize. Apologize? For what?
For distilling [...]
