Breakthrough

I’m waiting on the edge of my seat to hear what the “bipartisan compromise” on the torture and detainee legislation between Rebel McCain and the white house is. The one thing I noticed in the tiny bit of the press conference I just saw on CNN in passing was that this great “deal” didn’t include even one Democrat.

Can we all see how horrible the optics of that are?

So far, when it comes to the nation’s policy on torture and terrorist detainees, the Democrats are not just soft, they are completely irrelevant. I’m not sure that’s a great idea — but waddo I know?
