You knew this was coming. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a treasure trove of inanity, whether he's shilling for brutal dictators like Hugo Chavez, blaming Reagan for 9/11, or wrongly arguing childhood vaccines are responsible for autism even as whooping cough, measles, mumps and other preventable and deadly childhood afflictions come roaring back.

This was probably inevitable:
One of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as soon as Monday targeting the high-capacity ammunition clip the gunman used.
McCarthy ran for Congress after her husband was gunned down and her son seriously injured in a shooting in 1993 on a Long Island commuter train.
