Cheap Tent Time
Digby outlines the case for (cue the music) John "the annoited one" McCain and Lindsay "huckleberrry" Graham to fold like cheap tents on the so-called "torture bill". Read the whole thing to get direction of the compromise negotiations. His concluding paragraph says what I've been thinking all along:
I have no doubt that McCain and Bush will stand together, all smiles, at a bill signing ceremony some time in the not too distant future. And then the president will issue a signing statement designed to cover his ass and everyone elses ass and John McCain will run for president as the man who saved America's soul.
Lord help us all.
