Sure liberals have opinions. Just ask Jim and Sarah Brady.

When Sen. Ted Kennedy was "outed" as a member in the exclusive Owl Club, which bars women from membership, Harvard's student newspaper, The Crimson, reported "conservatives" complainded about Kennedy's Owl membership.

But what about liberals? What were they saying about Kennedy's Owl membership?

Apparently nothing. Or at least nothing The Crimson thought worth reporting.

And here in North Carolina?

What was the liberal trending left Raleigh News & Observer, a McClatchy Co. paper, telling readers about Kennedy, often called "the liberal lion," and his misogynist Owl membership?

The N&O decided to tell its faithful readers nothing about what Washington wags were by then calling "The story of Teddy and the Owl."

So much silence from usually "yack-yack" liberals led a friend to ask, "Do liberals have any opinions besides 'I hate Bush?'"

Tonight, my friend has an answer.

Liberals are speaking out following a hunting accident today in which Vice-president Dick Cheney shot a companion.

Example: From The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence comes a press release that includes:

To National Desk:

James and Sarah Brady made comments today related to Vice President Cheney's reportedly accidental shooting yesterday in Texas.

"Now I understand why Dick Cheney keeps asking me to go hunting with him," said Jim Brady. "I had a friend once who accidentally shot pellets into his dog - and I thought he was an idiot."

"I've thought Cheney was scary for a long time," Sarah Brady said. "Now I know I was right to be nervous."

A contact number for press follow up was provided.

Besides wanting to take guns from law abiding citizens, Jim and Sarah want us to treat each other respectfully, and avoid demeaning and inflamatory verbal attacks on others.

Jim and Sarah believe such attacks can only heighten the circumstances in which gun violence can occur.

At least that's what I read at websites that support their campaign.

To learn more about how you can make a contribution to The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, please call 202-289-5792 during normal business hours.

Speaking of Kennedy and club memberships how often do they mention his membership in the uniquely exclusive Chappaqidick Swim Club?

Boy,I didn't have to wait long for the call to punish everybody else, did I. The very next item.
