This Modern World - JK appearance

Couple that with today's post over at Liberal Oasis, and the latest repuke narrative and weak dem response (Schumer and Durbin earn mentions here) comes into sharp focus:

How about mentioning that the Bush Administration took it’s eye off the ball by unnecessarily invading Iraq instead of staying focused on Al Qaeda?

How about arguing that warrantless fishing expeditions are not just illegal, they’re not effective at stopping terrorism?

(Don’t buy that last argument? Check out yesterday’s W. Post op-ed from Michael Hirsh: “...the conducts broad-based surveillance indiscriminately over communications lines that few bad guys even use any longer... the smartest terrorist groups have long since stopped talking about their plans over cell phones or land lines -- or to the extent they do, it's probably to plant disinformation.”)

Neither Schumer or Durbin seized the offensive yesterday.

And if Dems want to win the short-term argument about warrantless spying, and win the long-term argument over which party is better for national security, they better start.
