I keep seeing people like Markos asking why Republicans are suddenly interested in who is responsible for “torture”. That the Speaker of the House just accused the CIA of lying to Congress goes right past them. No surprise. That the Speaker just can’t get her story straight, or even spit it out in complete sentences, doesn’t move them. Again, no surprise. That the enhanced interrogation techniques aren’t actually torture is a fact they’ll simply never consider, so deeply mired in Bush-hate partisanship are they. Do I need to say no surprise? Their very question is replete with presumed mischaracterizations.

So the next time someone asks why the Republicans “suddenly” care about “torture”, just say “Hey, why do Democrats suddenly not care about lying? … oh wait. Right.”

Hey, they’re consistent. Well, some of them are anyway, right Nancy?

    “What did the Speaker know and when did she know it?” and “Follow the money.”

    They need to keep repeating the first and doing the second. After all, fair is fair isn’t it?

    Seems the only thing everyone can agree on is that there shouldn’t be any sort of investigation or further information forthcoming regarding Nancy and torture. I’ll take that as a sign that we clearly need some sunlight shown there. Bright. Through a magnifying glass.

    I used to be gobsmacked that she ever got elected to anything. Now I’m gobsmacked that she hasn’t been institutionalized all her life. Is this the dumbest woman in politics or what? Including Babs Boxer and that execrable Maxine Waters. And they actually call Sarah Palin dim. Ha! They’ve cornered the market on dim.

    U.S. politics truly has reached its nadir.
