What struck me about the Washington Post obituary of James Kilpatrick is that he could collaborate on a book with his neighbor Eugene Mc Carthy, about as liberal a politician as they come.
He lived to be 89, and changed his mind on the central question of his earlier years: racial segregation.
I enjoyed his saying on an application for a job that he knew the streets of Philadelphia as well as he knew those of Paris: he had never seen either.
So, if the rest of us still objected to the Papists being allowed to have parishes all over Virginia and America — to allow them priests and nuns walk about freely, for Catholics worship freely — what would mean McDonnell and Cuccinelli would not have been allowed to run for office in Virginia? Be careful what you wish for Governor Bob and Dr. AG.
