K is for Kumquat
Eric says it better than I ever could, in his post Specter, you kumquat, regarding Arlen Specter’s supposed pro-choice stance, and his betrayal of his word to his constituents over Alito’s nomination and confirmation.
Specter is one of the few pro-choice Republicans around, and the only Republican senator I’d ever considered voting for. He really lost my respect, and a huge chunk of his supporters, over this one.
Specter, you kumquat indeed.

Dare I ask what makes “kumquat” an insult? I’ve always thought they were kind of cute, and they’re part of my favorite line from The Fantasticks (”You’re standing in my kumquats!”). I like kumquats a lot better than I like Specter…
