Boom.

Fox News’ Martha MacCallum isn’t alone in posing that question. Sarah Palin did the same:

Double boom.

The link leads to an excellent post by her daughter Bristol. Please do read the whole thing. In the meantime, Bristol’s last line says it all:

How do you make a deal with a country who is torturing your own citizens?

Sarah Palin has also been a fierce fighter for Pastor Saaed. Saaed Abedini, an Iranian-American pastor, is imprisoned in Iran. For what? Oh, for practicing Christianity. As Twitchy reported, he has been told he “will hang” for his faith.

Citizens are also rightly blasting the deal with Iran, which Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a “historic mistake.”

Indeed. The deal is shameful and potentially disastrous.

MacCallum made another penetrating point:

‘Disgusted’: Marion Barry rants about HBO biopic, Spike Lee & more

Former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry is best known nationally for having been arrested for smoking crack long before anyone had ever heard of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. Barry has nonetheless remained a towering figure in D.C. city politics for decades. Now a city councilman, Barry took to social media to express his displeasure with HBO’s planned movie about his life.

In his rant he calls out HBO, director Spike Lee, “12 Years a Slave” producer John Ridley, D.C. crime novelist George Pelecanos who has also written episodes of “The Wire” for HBO, and NBC4 reporter Tom Sherwood. Barry had met with Ridley about the HBO project but decided not to support it. The Washington City Paper reports:

Barry says he turned against the HBO project after having dinner with John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave who was attached to the project with Spike Lee as the director. Barry says he was unhappy with how Ridley planned to portray his arrest at the Vista Hotel for smoking crack.

Ridley and Pelecanos are attached to the project as writers and Sherwood is a consultant. Barry reportedly plans to sell the movie rights to his autobiography for another biopic.
