Today's Salute to the Peanut Gallery:

"Did you know that one of Buchanan's relatives was killed in the Holocaust? He fell out of a guard tower."

That comment by one "pmccoy" was a response to Pat Buchanan's Elena Kagan freakout, documented in this article in TPM, to wit: "If Kagan is confirmed, Jews, who represent less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, will have 33 percent of the Supreme Court seats[!]" Like many things that make me laugh out loud, this wasn't exactly in the best taste, but I thought it still deserved to be widely shared.
