BOTH SIDES OF HIS MOUTH
I heard this on the radio this morning, and I just had to look it up. Regarding the vote on the
FISA bill today:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) . . . observed succinctly: "It’s not about frightening the American people. The American people should be frightened and remember full well what happened on 9/11."
[Edited to remove some silliness that took away from the utter inanity of the quote.]
It's hard to replicate this in the laboratory. I tried to come up with a snappy line to parrot the internal anti-logic of the quote, but nothing is better than the thing itself.
