Yes, that’s what I said. Fair’s fair, and when the guy makes a good point, it should be acknowledged.

The other day, when Rich Lowry was browbeating Colmes for mocking the Santorum family’s handling of their infant child’s death, there was the following exchange:

Lowry: I think even some of the dastardly characters we have in the mainstream media are not gonna go as low as you just have, Alan, and make fun of that incident.
Colmes: I disagree.

That’s one of the few predictions Colmes has gotten right, as proven last night on Rachel Maddow’s delightful program. Watch as the Washington Post‘s Eugene Robinson fails to learn from Colmes’ mistake. (If you have trouble dealing with the sound of their voices, you can skip to the 50-second mark.)

Robinson: [Santorum]’s not a little weird, he’s really weird. Some of the positions he’s taken are just so weird that I think some Republicans are gonna be off-put. Not everybody is going to be down, for example, with the story of how he and his wife handled the stillborn child whose body they took home to kind of sleep with and introduce to the rest of the family. It’s very weird story… Let’s repeat that, every time we talk about Rick Santorum, let’s be clear: This a guy who should never become president, in my view.

And then they share a nice chuckle.

Hey, it’s not like they’re talking about human beings. If you don’t want Rachel Maddow to laugh at your dead baby, you should’ve thought about that before you disagreed with her politically. You’re on notice, Republicans: If your child dies and you ever want to run for president, you’d better check with the liberal left to make sure you’re mourning correctly.
