I'm shocked! Shocked!

Politics is hilarious, especially when one side plays politics by accusing the other of "playing politics." The Dems have been claiming that the Bush administration is out of bounds by claiming the exposure of the Sky Plot as a victory. I guess if you have nothing but bald claims that Bush's policies haven't made us safer or that Iraq has distracted us from homeland security, you have to pedal faster when events seem to say otherwise. What can they claim? They blocked the Dubai Ports deal, offending one of the only friends we have in the Arab world. They wouldn't be playing politics, though, would they?

Now there's word that Lieberman's old Dem buddies in the Senate are endorsing Lamont. But they're not playing politics. They're running scared, driven by the money of the MoveOn.org and George Soros types who have seized control of their funding. Thank you, McCain-Feingold.
