Time for a Viable Third Party
The rubber stamp Senate strikes again:

During Thursday night’s debate, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the warrentless wiretapping program raised “serious questions about whether the general is the right person to lead the CIA, serious questions about whether the general will continue to be an administration cheerleader, serious questions about his credibility.”
“Serious questions,” indeed.
