Here's a shocker

:YeahThat: When there are no consequences nothing changes. I would even go a little farther than you. I would call Shinseki back to active duty and take him down a pay grade or 2.

The conventional wisdom in DC is that Obama will let Shinseki take the heat until after the election so that it doesn't get directed to the POTUS.

Where do you get your line into conventional DC wisdom? POTUS is not up for reelection.

IMO the best thing the d's can do politicly is demand a select committee, fast track it and lop heads off as they go. Particularly lop off heads. "Actions speak louder than words".

Tweets from DC pundits. And while BHO isn't running for re-election, he doesn't want to be taking the blame for killing GI's with neglect if he is hosting 25K fundraising dinners for embattled senators.

Wow...Imagine my surprise.... Is that anything like the "unpaid bloggers" you so refudiate?

Those unpaid bloggers make pretty charts though! And pretend they are from the CBO!
And I don't give a flip that you don't give a flip. Flipper!

I breathe defiance to thine ears. Thy tongue outvenoms all the worms of Nile.
Be not lost so poorly in your thoughts.
