Statue of Liberty

Bruce Morton's Sunday spots during Wolf Blitzer's CNN "Late Edition" are usually the highlights of the show: offering a thoughtful look at some special issue. Today's is whether the Statue of Liberty shouldn't be reopened and why it's been allowed to sit there since 9-11 roped off by yellow police tape.

Good question. I suspect the WH is not eager to have this symbol of freedom and the dream of a new opportunity for immigrants in a supposedly widely free country - and given to us by the "cheese eating surrender monkeys", at that! - made available again to the American people. Symbolism seems important to these people.
