Why? It would open up a Senate seat in Utah — I’d just love to watch the Republicants pour money in trying to defend *Utah* — and even if the Republicants win Utah, we’d still get rid of one of the most corrupt, dangerous, and insane Senators we have!

It would be genius.

This is a teeny tiny criticism: In your article you say Leahy “tweaked” Hatch. I think what you mean is to “twit” Hatch, which is to mildly tease. Tweaking is making small adjustments to something.<br /> Thanks for your good work.<br /> GTurner</p> Dear Christy,

McCain was just telling everyone how Americans could walk around safely in Baghdad, after all it’s completely kosher. Why on earth would they need to travel with heavily armed guards in armored vehicles? IT’S SAAAAAFFFFFEEEEEEEEE.</p> So why is it that the delegation isn’t walking freely on the street?
