Is it our imagination or is Arlen Specter beginning to look (and act) like Tony Soprano's senile uncle?
The poor old duffer seemed to forget that he switched parties last week and came out in support of Republican Norm Coleman in the still-contested Minnesota senate race.
The doddering old fool was being interviewed for a Times magazine feature. When asked if he was concerned about the lack of Jewish Republicans in the Senate he said, “I sure do. There’s still time for the Minnesota courts to do justice and declare Norm Coleman the winner.”
Oops. Someone on his staff must have reminded the 78-year old Specter that he was now a Democrat. Because when reporters asked him about the comment outside the Senate, Specter stuttered and sputtered and said the comment was a mistake. Just a big ol’ mistake.
Not the first mistake he made in the last week. And not the biggest mistake he’s made in the last week.

Let’s just hope that the esteemed voters in the confused state of Pennsylvania do this poor man a favor and let him retire after the primary. He seems to need some time off. (And so do we!)
