Betty McCollum mongering for war, never thought I’d see it. I take this as evidence that Congressional Democrat leadership thinks that the vote will be so close they can’t even let bleeding hearts off the hook to vote their conscience or serve their constituents. Instead, they’re forced to expose them in the act of serving their real master, the Party.Brian's questions are rhetorical, of course. No one in the local media will ask Betty McCollum any question of that sort. No one in the local media asks Betty about anything, because asking her would risk garnering a response that they'd have to explain away later. Betty McCollum is the congressional equivalent of the tree that falls in the forest that never makes a sound.
To be fair, maybe McCollum is suffering from confusion based on past experience. Because the last time she hung out with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, he was a great guy! Flashback to 2007:
Rep. Betty McCollum praised the Syrian government's response to Iraqi refugees in the country following a meeting Wednesday with Syrian President Bashar Assad. "Under his leadership, the Syrian government is allowing Iraqi children to attend school, and they're working through the Red Crescent to provide basic health care," McCollum said in a telephone interview from the Syrian capital, Damascus.
After one meeting, Betty McCollum testified to the world about the Syrian dictator’s great leadership and kindness. And now he’s gassing his own people. Any local media types think that might be a story to follow up on? Get some first person insight from Rep. McCollum about the measure of the man and how she could have been so wrong in her very public assessment of him?
But there is an explanation for the second question, concerning Betty McCollum's powers of discernment. It's reasonably simple -- Betty does what Nancy Pelosi does. And we know what Nancy did:
There's more at the link; as always, it's worth your time.
