Tom "I left my Spine...in South Dakota" Daschle has appointed former Senator Bob Kerrey to take Max Cleland's place on the National Joke Commission errrr...the 9/11 commission. If there is any one thing that even the Kool-Aid Konsumers ought to be upset about, it's the way that the 1600 Crew has consistantly blocked the legitimate avenues of questioning that the Commission has pursued. Will there be a judgement of history that this was as much a "whitewash" as the Warren Commission? Perhaps. Will everyone remember that the Great National Embarrassment impeded the work of the Commission at every juncture? Definately. Could it help defeat the 1600 Crew? Really, really hope so...
I'm waiting for the day when some hapless Chickenhawk schmuck from the 1600 Crew questions Kerrey's patriotism. That might start some fireworks.

Well, nothing stopped them from questioning John McCain's patriotism. Lots of people - including Republicans - were infuriated. But the key is - it was done early enough in the primary season so that all was forgotten by convention time.
