Friends of Nan swept her off the grill today, voting 252-172 (Ron Paul, of course, and Walter Jones of North Carolina voted with the Dems) to block an effort to investigate her assertion that she never heard of waterboarding, but if she did, she didn’t know it was gonna be used, but if she did know it was gonna be used, she didn’t know what it was, and anyway the CIA lied, but if the CIA didn’t lie, the Bush administration lied. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, sought a bipartisan panel to look into the Speaker’s claims. Uh huh. And there was a unicorn in my back yard this morning.
