This Is Entertaining

Susan Collins is on MSNBC right now trying to justify her earlier criticisms of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s interrogation after new information has emerged suggesting that putting him through the Court system has actually revealed quite good intelligence. Now she’s upset that the right intelligence officials weren’t consulted. She’s truly an embarrassment.

Can’t we at least get a senator who’s on top of the latest demagoguery on this issue to dish out the bamboozlement?
