Krauthammer Quips: 'Best Week I've Had Since Spring Break in Medical School'

Quip of the day, from columnist Charles Krauthammer on Friday's (January 22) Special Report with Bret Baier on FNC. Baier wondered: "Conservatives, pretty good week?" Krauthammer affirmed:

You know, this is an amazing week. Massachusetts goes Republican, health care dies and the Supreme Court unshackles the First Amendment. It's the best week I've had since spring break in medical school - and I don't even remember it [laughter from other panelists].

And there was another item which you mentioned: Air America, the liberal talk show network went out of business - which is a redundancy because nobody was listening anyway.

In his latest column, "What Scott Brown's win means for the Democrats" published in Friday's Washington Post, Krauthammer observed how "both wings of American liberalism - congressional and mainstream media" have been in denial:

The reason both wings of American liberalism - congressional and mainstream media - were so surprised at the force of anti-Democratic sentiment is that they'd spent Obama's first year either ignoring or disdaining the clear early signs of resistance: the tea-party movement of the spring and the town-hall meetings of the summer. With characteristic condescension, they contemptuously dismissed the protests as the mere excrescences of a redneck, retrograde, probably racist rabble.
