Now here’s the best letter to the Washington Post editor we’ve seen in quite some time:

Arlen Specter Is Funny

Gene Weingarten’s critical Nov. 18 column in the Magazine certainly missed the audience’s loud and long laughter in response to Sen. Arlen Specter’s humor in the charity celebrity contest. Readers can judge for themselves by viewing the performance on YouTube, which has had more than 12,000 hits. Keith Olbermann featured part of it on MSNBC, and Philadelphia’s CBS radio station played the entire soundtrack with riotous responses.

I was at that comedy contest.  And I gotta say, having heard Arlen Specter’s act, I now believe this country really does need to broaden its definition of torture.
