I have to agree with Cliff; there is no reason to drag the reasonably good name of Mr. Biafra–who introduced me to a bitterly sarcastic, left-leaning world-view in the tender days of my youth–through Rockefeller’s mushy and desultory politicking.

it would seem like Rockefeller and progressives would consider that win-win.

Um, no. Feinsten caved on FISA, knew about torture and didn’t do anything, recommended Mukasey . . . the list goes on.

Yeah, but he’s way junior compared to DiFi and Ron Wyden. I’d personally prefer Wyden over DiFi, but it’s hard to see a way in which you jump over the next-senior member of the committee. The choice isn’t between Rockefeller and a super-awesome liberal, it’s between Rockefeller and the more-liberal and more-stalwart Feinstein.

And if he ends up moving aside for Feinstein, an imperfect but more reliable voice for oversight and civil liberties, it would seem like Rockefeller and progressives would consider that win-win.

Screw that. Feinstein is bad. Just ask Glennzilla. Feingold better get a chair one of these days!! I know he’s the the Intelligence Committee.

I’ve worked with Jello Biafra. I know Jello Biafra. Jello Biafra is a friend of mine. And Senator Jello Jay is no Jello Biafra.
