Feigned disgust from Feinstein
So Diane Feinstein (D-Cali) states that she hopes the “public outcry” over waterboarding calms so we can get to the bottom of the controversy? What public outcry? It seems the left is beginning to itch uncomfortably from the turning tide of negative media and intends to distract by feigning disgust and shock over an issue as old as T. Kennedy’s long-johns. The FAR left, which exist as strongly as any far right wackos, have been calling the former Bush administration “criminals” for years. Other than those nut-jobs, no one is blinking an eye from the 24/7 NFL draft to make a nod toward investigating one moment of the techniques used to keep America safe. At least not anyone that remembers 911.
I find myself sitting quietly at my dining room table, squinting at news coverage thinking, “how the hell are these people going to say they did not know that we were practicing waterboarding as a technique to garner intelligence?” I mean; I knew about it. The administration had every kind of lawyer and constitutional aficionado releasing their findings on it. President Bush said he condoned the use in a myriad or public settings. Is anyone believing Nancy Pelosi’s insane rants that despite the fact that this middle-aged Mom from fly-over country KNEW about the controversy, somehow it escaped the understanding of the Democrat’s leading Senator?
In my line of work; mothering, there is a simple technique used the world over for helping children learn new knowledge. It’s called putting the information to verse. The ABC’s are a prime example. My personal favorite: the days of the week set to The Macarena. In the following link, a clever podcaster has helped to bridge the gap of understanding. I present:

Maybe that will help.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the post from SMART GIRL POLITICS, which called out the dastardly Keith Olberman. Please read here.
Here’s the skinny: The Bush Administration operated on their own understanding of the issue which was that it wasn’t torturous, in that we prepare OUR OWN TROOPS by doing it to them in case of their capture. If you want to outlaw it President Obama, go right ahead. But you are playing with fire if you want to make it a political issue. Don’t you have some economic models to be researching? I certainly have a few ideas I’d like to send over for your review.

I hope these stupid tools jump the shark and have hearings it will ensure a wipeout in 2010!
While I think these investigations would be grueling for our country, Jaded’s 2010 prediction is right on. If O’s polls indicate this might cause him election trouble, he’ll shut it down.
I forgot to mention the song – loved it!
