The SOTU was pretty much of a yawner tonight. After all, the rubber-assed rubber-stamp republicans were not applauding every bit of jingoistic drivel that popped from Preznit Horse Fluffer's gob this evening. But this comment caught my ear, and I had to go back and check the transcript:
... and that will leave border agents free to chase down drug smugglers, and criminals ...
Interesting, because many hard-core republicans have been lobbying Beloved Leader to pardon two Border Patrol agents who were convicted of chasing down and shooting a Mexican drug runner in the ass.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., introduced a bill to pardon the agents, joining a growing group of supporters of the men, including Reps. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., and Ted Poe, R-Texas.
"There's a compelling case that this was an extreme injustice," Hunter told FOXNews.com.
Yeah, interesting. I wonder if that's a signal to his right-wing base that he's going to do them a favor if they STFU on some of the issues he's about to tackle with immigration.
