Recently, I have filled this space with numerous articles of the ignorance of democrat leaders on the Constitution.  It is getting so bad, I can almost start a "Ignorant Comment of the day" with their uttered stupidity.  And it just will not end.  Latest on the hit parade is Patrick Leahy who states:

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., on Friday introduced a resolution saying Congress did not authorize the NSA program when it passed that 2001 resolution governing the use of military force in the War on Terror.

The problem is while he may not have voted on the language, as soon as he voted to authorize the president to wage the war on terror, he Authorized it!

I think the real problem is not their feigned ignorance, but what Peggy Noonan said just this past weekend in her editorial: http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/pnoonan/?id=110007835

I don't think Democrats understand that the Alito hearings were, for them, not a defeat but an actual disaster. The snarly tone the senators took with a man most Americans could look at and think, "He's like me," and the charges they made--You oppose women and minorities, you only like corporations and not the little guy--went nowhere. Once those charges would have taken flight, would have launched, found their target and knocked down any incoming Republican. Not any more. It's over.

They are still playing to something that no longer exists.  A willing sycophantic media that will not question their stupid and idiotic statements, but will dutifully report them to the mesmerized public that of course has no other place to go for their news.

But like Peggy says, Not any more.  And indeed, they just come off looking stupid and ignorant instead of stately and wise.  And the worst part is they refuse to learn!  This has not been a secret! Fox News has been around for many years, as has Rush Limbaugh.  But it is apparent from their feeble attempts to combat that with Air America and Al Gore's News Network that they totally fail to understand what has happened.  They are using the Ostrich defense!  If they bury their heads long enough and deep enough, then the bad men will go away.

And it is not working.  While some in the MSM tried to say it was Lindsey Graham that made Mrs. Alito cry, it was evident it was the democrats.  That is to all except the sheep and the 8 democrats on the committee.

They continue trying to use a playbook that long ago was outmoded!  CBS and Guardgate, Kennedy and his Debates, Kerry and his lies.

Sure, the editors of the Boston Globe, LA and NY Times, and Washington Post will bow at the altar of liberal spin, but even CNN realizes they have to report the truth, or be laughed out of the market! (albeit late since Fox already overtook them).

So instead of coming off as stately and knowledgeable, they come off as stupid and ignorant.  Where a lowly blogger like myself can stand up, and write an article where we basically say "Hey!  Did you really mean that?  Or did you mis-speak?  And if the former, are you really that stupid?".

And gain more credibility than they can ever hope to re-acquire.
