Oh Snap!

Chelsea is getting testy (in a very gender-neutral, non-specific way) with some of those questioning her Mom's vote for the blank check to go to war in Iraq.

“Has your mother shown any remorse for the fact that her vote cost Iraqis a million of their lives?” a student asked Chelsea Clinton on Monday at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Ms. Clinton replied: “She cast a vote based on the best available evidence. Perhaps you had clairvoyance then, and that’s extraordinary.”

Well, either 23 members of the US Senate are also members of the AAPP, or perhaps they had similar information, and made a different judgment call. I'll let you decide...are these people psychic, or did they just (with the exception of Byrd) exercise better judgment?

"just (with the exception of Byrd) exercise"

What do you mean about Byrd?

I find it hard to imagine Robert Byrd has ever exercised good judgment. In other words, I'm still not a fan of the idea of a former Klan member being the Senate Pro Tem.
