Sure

Chris Cilizza said on Hardball today that the White House is upset because the DOJ’s tepid torture investigation is distracting from the health care debate.

Does anything believe that?

I might believe that in other circumstances, but at this point I think the White House is thrilled to have Dick Cheney front and center. And I find it very hard to believe that they couldn’t have put it off for a bit longer. It hardly would have raised an eyebrow. They would like nothing more than some breathing room.

I don’t think anyone should give it to them. The pressure from the left is all there is to keep the whole establishment from throwing in their cards right now and at the very least we need to keep the heat on until the votes in both houses are cast.

Make some calls to their home offices this week, if you have the time. They need to keep hearing from you.
