Are those 47 senators pulling an Ann Coulter?!?
It just occurred to me! Those 47 senators who signed that letter to Iran and called it a "cheeky" joke? (as here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026349846)
They're saying terrible things and then saying it was just a joke! They're doing the Ann Coulter thing. Saying terrible horrible things and then just saying, "Oh, I'm just a satirist, you're taking it too seriously."
Trouble is, Ann Coulter is actually in the entertainment industry (though how anyone finds her entertaining I'll never understand), and the senators are GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS!
Do your satirizing on your own time. Maybe they're all just putting together a "greatest hits" reel to get a job as a pundit later.
