Treading on ground once reserved for outright demagogues, the U.S. Senate passed the Lieberman Amendment to the Defense Appropriations bill on a 97 – 0 vote, thereby codifying stupidity as a qualification for membership in the body.
Clearly this particular piece of legislative excrement was blatantly designed to create political cover. As if the entire foreign and defense intelligence communities are not already investigating and reporting on all activities “Iran”. As if the citations in the Lieber-milk list of Iranian nefariousness was well-researched, as opposed to an ad-hoc collection of specious flacktoid, guesswork-at-best quotes by the administration’s Dick-puppets.
And what did they vote for? A report.
[The pulse quickens at the mere thought of such a document. Leaders in foreign capitals will tremble, market forces will surge in anticipation, and reporters will fight for the few seats available on the mall on the day this wonderous work is to be released. I am . . . humbled by the awesome intellectual depth of the thing.]
Like slackers going to church on Christmas with starry-eyed expectations of redemption, the Suited & Coiffed Ones failed to realize they have already been judged as beyond. We can only wish them well in their special place in hell. They’ve earned it.
