OK - We're A Day Into This GOP Letter To Iran - What Are The Repug Talking Points For Doing It?.....

We're a day into the controversy surrounding this letter signed by 47 of 54 Repug senators. The swift response by the Administration and the Dems and the fallout in the MSM has had a chance to ruminate now. So what are the Repugs saying in defense? How are they justifying this letter? What are the conservative talking heads on the cable news shows and radios saying to defend this action. By now the Repug talking points have to have been distributed. What are we going to hear the next few days from them.

And will the 7 Repug senators that didn't sign be given talking points as well?

This ought to be interesting.

You see, it wasn't a diplomatic note refering to ongoing negotiations, being sent to a foreign government with a US Senate letterhead. It was merely an editorial elaborating on the opinions of some people.

a 'press availability' for this afternoon to take questions on the BS email story.

Way to step on the biggest story of the year, geniuses.
