Rethug Mischief

Rethuglican Senators are making mischief again: they defeated an energy bill which would have had the first new fuel economy standards in some 30 years because of the bill's imposition of taxes on oil companies. Surprised? In addition, some Rethug Senators, unhappy with the NIE's deflation of the march to war against Iran, want a Congressional investigation of the report's findings, suggesting that the NIE was "politicized." Riiiiight! The consensus of 16 intelligence agencies is "politicized" when it doesn't fit the Rethug roadmap for endless war in the Middle East. So the Senate Rethugs want to jump in and. . . what's the word? POLITICIZE the process. This should be interesting; maybe the Rethugs can put the Yellow Elephant logo on the next NIE cover.
