Decisions, Decisions

Who are Reid and Pelosi willing to piss off more?

Gun owners or the GLBT crowd?

Clearly, the endtimes are upon us. Republican Sens. Tom Coburn (Okla.) and John Thune (S.D.) are offering eyeing the possibility of proposing* friendly amendments to the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.).

It’s a peculiarly Republican way of playing nice, to be sure: Coburn and Thune are proposing the addition of an amendment promoting interstate concealed carry. From the Democratic perspective, it’s sort of like when your cat brings you a dead mouse. Sure, you’re grossed out, but maybe the cat meant it as a gesture of friendship—or at least an acknowledgement of your superior position in the pack (pride?).

They can piss off the GLBT folks by ditching the whole bill, or they can piss off the nation’s firearm owners by ditching just the reciprocity portion.

Or, they can make everyone happy and pass the kit and kaboodle (yeah, right!).
