It's probably a good thing the Cromnibus saga blew that stupid hyper-partisan Democrat report on CIA interrogations off the front pages, because it wasn't working out at all the way Senator Dianne Feinstein and her crew expected it to.

Everything damaging to Democrats instantly becomes "old news," but somehow the enhanced interrogation techniques used against terrorist detainees in 2004 was supposed to be the biggest, freshest story in the land. The final draft of history on President Bush's achievements in national security would be discredited, while all credit due to the Bush Administration for developing the intelligence that led to the slaying of Osama bin Laden would be erased. The kook anti-war base of the Democrat Party would feel a surge of vindication, a moment of partisan elation, after which they would go back to not giving half a damn about Barack Obama blowing people to shreds with drone strikes.

Instead, Feinstein got to watch even Obama's CIA chief, John Brennan, dispute her "report" and its conclusions, including the attempt to claim that the intelligence obtained through enhanced interrogation was useless. Former veep Dick Cheney went much further, saying the Senate Democrat report was "full of crap." An American public numb from six years of Obama and Joe Biden was thus reminded of how awesome Dick Cheney is, and how much you want a guy like him on your side when the real crap hits the fan.

The point Cheney makes in this clip about how "the men and women of the CIA did exactly what we wanted to have them do," in the fearsome days after 9/11, is going to resonate with normal people a lot more than whatever Dianne Feinstein is shrieking about. Nobody outside the left-wing fever swamp is really all that concerned about frightening and inconveniencing a bunch of mass-murdering scumbags anyway. They know Democrats would be first in line to scream for the heads of CIA officers that didn't get the intel necessary to keep Americans safe. And if there's any great unease in the general public about what the media insists on calling "torture," it is greatly leavened by the reasonable understanding that mistakes could be made in the early, scary days of the War on Terror.

The Dims are starting to look pretty old and haggard after this hearing about nothing they're appearing more and more irrelevant to anyone beside the ultra-lib, America-haters.
