Awesome Time

Keith Olbermann had another of his magnificent Special Comments last night, this one on the current battle between Congress and the President over the renewal of FISA legislation.  I was going to write a post about this, but as is so often the case, Keith says it better than I ever could.

I hope these words haven’t fallen on deaf ears.  Chris Dodd successfully filibustered an earlier FISA bill containing immunity for telecoms, and has vowed to do so again.  Here’s hoping the Democratic leadership in the Senate backs him up, for once.  I realize it’s hard when the majority isn’t really a majority (we’ve got 51 seats, but you need 60 to get anything done), but even then, Harry Reid needs to stand up and explain why things don’t get done, rather than appearing to capitulate and then letting the Republicans control the storyline of it somehow being the Democrats’ fault for not getting anything passed.
