Thank goodness for the members of the "world's greatest deliberative body." What would we do without insights like this?
Hours before the great immigration debate began in the Senate yesterday, Sen. Jeff Sessions was polishing his arguments at a news conference in a park across from the Capitol.
"This bill," the Alabama Republican told the cameras, "is not going to save Social Security. It's not going to save Medicare. And it's not going to balance the budget."
Well, that's true, Senator. It also won't end the war in Iraq, cure cancer or cause the Nationals to win the pennant. It is, after all, an immigration bill.
Still, that non sequitur was as good a way as any to kick off what is becoming Congress's annual immigration debate -- a celebration of legislative futility.
You were impressed by this vacuous column by Dana Milbank? It was content-free vapid snark, unworthy even of Maureen Dowd.
