David Atkins:
A bunch of Democrats who foolishly listened to Steve Israel seem to have wildly underestimated how pissed off the progressive base is over the Syrian refugees vote. There will be opportunities to make amends, though. This fight isn't over by a long shot.
Indeed, I am sure John Carney is a little taken aback by the outrage pointed in his direction. David speaks of opportunities to make amends. On the Refugee Bill, to even begin to heal this rift, the first, but not last, step is for all of them to sustain the veto. And of course, Senators Coons and Carper will be well advised to not repeat Carney's mistake. They must filibuster.

Our favorite local Sarah Palin, failed 2010 GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, says that the FEC lawsuit alleging that she illegally used campaign donations for personal expenses is actually a "witch hunt" and that she can't get a new attorney in Delaware because they are being intimidated.
She is also having trouble hiring a local attorney, she said, claiming that at least three lawyers she has talked to have received phone calls warning of "political backlash" if they represent her. Her former local attorney, Richard Abbott, withdrew last month, saying he hasn't been paid for his services.
Really???! Well surely these attorneys will swear out affidavits under oath supporting this shocking allegation! Yeah not so much.
