Daddy Dobson - Newsweek Politics - MSNBC.com: So Jim Dobson is a supposed to be a champion for human life, and is sure to be upset by the 1.3+ million children aborted every year in this country. So that topic is bound to come up when a reporter interviews him, right?
Wrong.
"I asked him what his top priority was in public life, and was astonished to hear him answer: ending the filibuster rule."
[sound of head hitting desk]
(And, yes, I know that if the filibuster rule is ended it will mean that judges will actually get appointed rather than being tied up in political games, and those judges are conservative ones -- which is why Democrats are filibustering them -- and that conservative judges are more likely to uphold reasonable parameters around abortion in this country rather than abandoning common sense in favor of political ideology. But, come on, do you really think Jim is connecting those dots when he decides that his number one priority at the moment is the filibuster rule?!?)
