Rohrabacher has become as big an embarassment as Bob Dornan was towards the end. What is it that makes these guys go all goofy towards the end of their careers? Maybe its because they dont have to 'appeal' to the general public since they are in gerrymandered "safe" districts and no longer have to do anything but vote the party line when a vote comes up and socialize (see the big red nose) with the rich and powerful so they will keep writing those checks. I'm voting for Debbie. Thanks for the post Vern. Rohrabacher has become as big an embarassment as Bob Dornan was towards the end.

You think I don't know about Dana's amazing adventure in Ahfghanistan in 1987? I wrote about it here, and you two commented then too. (You were wondering if Debbie would look good in a mujahadeen dress.) Why would I need to learn about that from Charlie Wilson's War, I've been studying Dana for years. Weird thing is how the Winships can't tell me and Sarah apart. I guess, apart from the fact that between the fact that we're both so AMAZINGLY YOUNG (Sarah 29, me 48) they feel that the blog they had been on since the 1920's suddenly changed in a dramatic and disorienting way last March, shaking their world to its very core. I was kind of getting along with the Winships (I thought) as we agreed on Prop 98 and Barack Obama, but then they pissed me off with a comment about gay marriage, reducing it to gays just wanting the financial rights as breeders. So, Winships, apart from the fact that Dana's closer to your age than ours and that you think it's cool he hung out with the Afghan mujahadeen in the 80's, what do you think about our country torturing? And about Dana making jokes and lies about it and excuses for it? And should we close Gitmo? And is Dana's behavior here and elsewhere grotesque enough that one wealthy Corona Del Mar couple will be maxing out for Debbie Cook? Inquiring OJ minds wanna know something serious like that.

My God...Dana was there with a rag on his head when you guys were chewing bubblegum at the mall. Oh...you are still doing that. Vern boy....did you get the approval of anyone.. when you put that naked prisoner pic up? The ACLU will be all over you like a cheap suit. Didn’t you people see “Charlie Wilson’s War”?

But by now you know what it feels like when you can tell somebody didn't get past your first paragraph before commenting. I wrote "we all know that nobody is calling 'panties on the head' torture, and that we do a lot more and a lot worse to our detainees at Guantánamo." And I followed that with a long paragraph on the real torture happening there, and then another paragraph on how these victims are not only suspects, but many if not mostly innocent. It's Dana who wants to make it all about panties, so we don't take all the torture and injustice seriously. Although I have to admit, panties are kind of funny.

I don't what was funnier: the idea that someone could argue the point or how comfortable Dana is with the word 'panties,' especially considering his age. Kinda makes you wonder...
