The Scandal
I've expressed, ah, mixed feelings about Alan Grayson in the past. But his to-the-point questions here make it pretty clear that teabaggRs are beating a dead horse that never lived. Of course it was a tragedy. Of course there are always things that, in hindsight, could have been done differently in a tragic situation. Like, for example, having laws that would prevent a known insane person with a history of gun violence from legally purchasing a shotgun.
There's also this report, just released.
And yet. CongressRs persist, and their mindless followers eat it like hummus on fresh and warm pita. Our politics have gone irretrievably over the edge.
