Wasn't looking forward to getting trashed tonight in the debate. Am I cynical?

Handled like a real leader... looking over her shoulder to see what everybody else is doing first.

I do find Mukasey's refusal to call waterbaording what it is, namely torture...however I found his stand on Presidential power equally distressing....(if the President does it, it means it might not be illegal, even though there might be a law against it)..I am tired of lack of oversight and no accountability....I am tired of these corrupt, illegal, immoral, ideologue leeches in the Administration, the Congress, in the Judicial, in the Pentagon..in every corner of government, in both the Republicans and the Democratic parties..that think the Geneva Convention and the Constitution are "quaint" and "irrelevant"..

Shouldn't the headline read:

Clinton shamed into doing the right thing after over half the Democratic candidates speak out against Mukasey?

Score another for trianglization and no objections from Clinton's corporate overlords . . .

To me, the most significant part of the quote from Clinton is "...or believes that the president is unconstrained by law." If all that was wrong with Mukasey was his inability to define torture, too many Senators would just say 'oh, well' and hold their noses while voting for his confirmation. This element is a much bigger problem with the entire administration. The more the Dems in the Senate acknowledge this, the better.

I'm not pro-Clinton, but I don't see the point in recycling the same tired old eye-rolling cheap-shot remarks devoid of any thought or purpose every time any of them, be it her, Leahy, or Pelosi, say anything.
