It's July: no politics until August.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer!

Lie of the Day, Week, Month, ...

Regular listeners to Laura Ingraham know that she always has an audio clip that she designates the "Lie of the Day." Most days, there are many to choose from, most just idle rhetoric to be sure. Not this one.

"As the only woman on the [U.S. Senate Judiciary] Committee, I have an additional role to play, representing the views and concerns of 145 million American women during this hearing process."

This is what U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein claimed at the L.A. Bar Association regarding the upcoming John Roberts confirmation hearings. Many of us consider Feinstein a bit more sensible than most of her Democratic colleagues in the Senate. This double-whammy of nonsense and hubris seems so beyond her and yet I suspect she believes it.
