Yay, we won . . . Ok, what did we win?

Some left leaning folks are ecstatic because Harry Reid shut the Senate down (which, by the way, shutting the Senate down in my view can’t be a bad thing generally). So what? The crap those guys do when the session is open is bad enough but I’d say it’s worse when no one is there to see it. Not sure I’d call it a victory, really.

    Other than an investigation into misuse of intelligence, which Republicans have been fighting for two years, nothing. If you don’t care about national security or flawed intelligence, then you’ve won nothing.

    Say, hasn’t that investigation been going on for a bit now?

    It’s fairly straightforward to figure out what was won from news items: a bipartisan panel to report back in a couple of weeks where the Senate Intelligence committee is with ‘phase II’ of its investigation: how WMD intelligence was influenced by the politics at the time.

    Roberts has been dragging his heels on that for at least a year, this was designed to light a fire under his butt and get some publicity for that, all at the same time. Kudos to Reid for doing it, boos to Frist for having a hissy fit about that. Frist should have been on Roberts himself, but apparently wasn’t interested in the investigation (either).

    Uncle:

    Actually, no. The GOP has been promising it for some time, but there’s been no investigation. This is larger than Plamegate, it’s more comparable to the 9/11 commission, but for the Iraq war.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
