From Debra Saunders, http://www.townhall.com/columnists/debrasaunders/ds20050504.shtml She doesn't seem to blame anything but wants to see the bride go to jail, (clearly a danger to society) She also says "It's odd how the left sees the devout as being harsh and inflexible, yet here Mason and his spiritual mentors are dismissing this cruel act as a simple mistake" So I guess she's being a liberal by wanting the woman to go to jail? Brain asplode... Well, the first take is up!

From Debra Saunders,

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/debrasaunders/ds20050504.shtml

She doesn’t seem to blame anything but wants to see the bride go to jail, (clearly a danger to society)

She also says “It’s odd how the left sees the devout as being harsh and inflexible, yet here Mason and his spiritual mentors are dismissing this cruel act as a simple mistake”

So I guess she’s being a liberal by wanting the woman to go to jail?

Brain asplode…

According to the rules of wingnuttia, there is no plausible or acceptable reason for her to do this. That's why there was the fascination with the big search (because, of course, it couldn't be cold feet, it had to be foul play). They were all looking for the next angelic martyr. Now it turns out that it was cold feet. No martyr, just a woman who decided to kick her way out of the marriage chute. That's why the wingnuts are now all convinced that she should be prosecuted and should have to pay for the search costs.

First Comedienne Laura's jokes were just so good that they'll continue to be the topic of the week, along with renewing the Patriot Act. Besides - missing white woman obviously killed and kidnapped by her fiance = lots of stuff to talk about. However - white woman who lied about running away = damned liberals need to just forget about Desperate Housewives. There's nothing wrong with that show!

The reason? It would be 1-1 (at best; 3-5 is more like it). All this hyperfulminating on which columnist would likely to produce a piece is somewhat entertaining given their editorial proclivities, but the reality is none of them will. Your odds, though amusing, fail to take that possibility into account. Most people believe this should, at this point, be a matter to be dealt with between the couple. So, when you post odds that "no one will comment", I will place my wager.
