There is wailing and gnashing of teeth over at Denninger’s over the Tea Party supported candidates who supported the PATRIOT Act renewal, including some local Rethuglican louses (not mine, thanks in part to Jim TrafiCANT splitting the conservative vote) But what I don’t get is anyone expecting COL. Allan West to do otherwise. An Army officer can be expected to defend freedom against a national security claim about like a guy with “Rev.” in front of his name can be trusted to oppose blue laws.
Especially an Army officer who was made to leave the Army because he interrogated a local civilian a bit too enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, yesterday I saw a brief clip of Dennis the Menace (you know whom I mean) being very positive about the Tea Party because of those eight no votes.
Well, he would. Me, I’m positive about olive pits.
