How many sources of information have you been relying on in this latest controversy, don-o?

Not very many. No television here. I do have FNC and CNN available via XM satellite radio.

FR is my primary news source.

Does that disqualify me from having an opinion?

At one time, "I will not dignify that with a response" was a legitimate reply to an outrageous question / accusation.

That (alas!) was in the distant past, before the "Clinton War Room", and 24x7 Twitter whispering campaigns. Look what dignified silence did for Bush '43 and his political fortunes wrt "Bush lied, people died."

In answer to your question: of course you are not disqualified from your opinion; but do your best on this issue, as you do on almost everything else I've seen you opine upon, to make sure it is a fully-informed opinion. First hand sources beat the rumor mill :-)

Cheers!
