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?

I believe the only two quotations Republicans need to keep in mind on this issue are
The_Gadfly (Diary) Tuesday, May 19th at 12:47PM EST (link)“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?
Such a peculiar situation
mallcopsaysno Tuesday, May 19th at 3:41PM EST (link)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 refused to apologize for chickenhawking when told to.

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.
Government cannot be the solution when government is the problem.
