Cohen's theories defy not only morality but economics. Were Randy's moral gymnastics peculiar to the New York Times, press agent for Senator Rodham, the world could simply enjoy the comic relief. But Mr. Cohen is the tip of the iceberg. The discovery of Sara Jane Olson, a.k.a. Mrs. Olson, wanted since 1976 for conspiracy to commit murder, was found after 23 years in brilliant disguise as a soccer mom in St. Paul.
Republicans can be so testy about folks on the lam.
Just not bomb control or the use of guns during bank robbery. Mrs. Olson is a coward who has run from the law and accountability. Two decades of an upscale liberal life complete with a herb garden are not atonement for attempted murder. A society without absolutes and enforcement is begging for anarchy. The indiscretions of youth involve eggs and toilet paper, not pipe bombs and automatic weapons in bank heists.
