No one wants to start a war in Iran more than he does.

MANIFESTO

Senator Sanctimony on "Face the Nation" this morning:

"I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers."

... He added, "If they don't play by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."

"... We cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they'll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home."

I suppose I could pardon the 60% of Connecticut's voters who voted for this lying Arabiphobe last November, but it's not as if he hadn't done this kind of stuff before.

It's virtually impossible to recall a senator in Connecticut, and, of course, Pollyanna in the governor's mansion would think it was a bad idea, so I guess we're stuck with this hideous moron until at least 2013.

What a contemptible, prevaricating, disgusting putz our junior senator is.

And it's certainly no better within the Land of Steady Habits. This is certainly a time when former Connecticut denizens can be glad they moved.
