Via Hot Air, Dianne Feinstein is doing her best to defend the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from attacks that she should have done something about the waterboarding.
After all, it’s torture right.
But in defending San Fran Nan, she also defends, well, everyone else:
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, backed Pelosi.“I think it’s a tempest in a teapot really to say: Well, Speaker Pelosi should have known all of this, she should have stopped this, she should have done this or done that,” she said.
“I don’t want to make an apology for anybody, but in 2002, it wasn’t 2006, 07, 08 or 09. It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.”
No kidding. So, when a Democrat think waterboarding is necessary, it isn’t torture. It’s action necessary to prevent an imminent attack.
The Democrat Party’s ability to create and implement a double standard never ceases to amaze me. However, this time they may have bitten off more than they can chew.
The left really wants blood from the Bush administration and this whole torture angle is the way the think they will get it. So the question is: will they sacrifice Nancy to get to Bush and Co., or will they let it go to defend their ace Speaker? Or can they actually pull off the double standard?
