On Tuesday's Hardball with Chris Matthews, the Green Party Candidate for Governor of NY says he is against captial punishment but would make an exception for Bush!

This was priceless and I had to read the transcripts to be sure I heard it right. Chris Matthews either let it slide or it didn't register with him. Here's the quote:

MATTHEWS: Where are you on capital punishment?  

MCCOURT:  Capital punishment?  I think that if--I have got to find that guy in Spain who indicted Pinochet and get him for war crimes, and I get him to do the same thing for Bush.  And in that case, I would be for capital punishment.  Otherwise, I am against it.

I expected Crooks and Liars to have a video posted about this but it went largely unnoticed. So after two days of silence I figured it was time for a diary.
