On MTP today the Democrats rose to the occasion with a thoughtful and restrained analysis of Iraq. Until today I have never heard of Joe Sestak or Tom Andrews for that matter, and I was thinking why did they get these B list dems to counter the likes of Tom Delay and Richard Perle. But what I saw from these men was one of the most cogent arguments for redeployment yet. In the face of a constant barrage of "aiding and abetting the enemy, helping the terrorists, wanting to surrender" comments from DeLay and Perle Sestak and Andrews delivered their message in with undeniable skill.
  On This Week Pat Leahy stung his counterpart Cornyn and served the ball right into the Bush admins court when he said he was sick of meeting with White House officials and having their statements later turn out to be false, so he would subpoena Carl Rove to get answers. Schumer also said as much on MTP and they both are tenacious lawyers who will get some accountability from the slippery lawbreakers in the White House.
  I heard Cenk on "the Young Turks" saying how frustrated he was that the dems were weak, and his partner said they suffered from "balzhiemers," but just because they don't take the impeachment tack doesn't mean they are weak. We have Murtha, we have Webb, we have Kerry, Murphy, Boxer, and now Sestak. Weak my ass.
