Stein's flippant and insensitive mention of saving every child in Haiti in an essay intended to be humorous ("You could save every child in Haiti, and you would still have to feed the parking meter") shows an incredible lack of good judgment and taste.

It's hard to think of anyone else in politics who has charted a path so quirky and defiant of an ideological label. In fact, last year marked the second time he has switched parties; he started his career as a Democrat but became a Republican when he decided to run for Philadelphia district attorney in 1965. He is pro-choice and pro-gay rights. Conservatives have never forgiven him for sinking Ronald Reagan's Supreme Court nomination of Robert Bork in 1987; liberals...
