Chutzpah and more chutzpah...

About a month ago, I thought we'd seen the new proto-definition of "chutzpah" as Harry "Chutzpah" Reid, leader of the "judicial candidates require extended debate" party in the Senate was complaining about how much time the Senate was spending debating judicial candidates. Well,the AP has brought us two more splendid examples today.

• Saddam Hussein, no one's idea of a due process leader, "complained that he has not been allowed sufficient access to his lawyer."



• John Kerry, who made it through the 2004 Presidential campaign without ever releasing all of his military and medical records, "urged the White House on Friday to release "in their entirety" all documents and memos from Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' tenure in two Republican administrations."

Frankly, I'm not sure that "chutzpah" is even adequate...
