lives in a parallel universe where Republicans are frightened, instead of delighted, by Russ Feingold’s resolution censuring the president for the NSA wiretaps. We were on Warren Olney’s radio show yesterday debating censure and impeachment. (John Dean was also on hand, opening the segment by saying that there’s no question the president has committed impeachable offenses. And Matthew Yglesias also, sanely, participated.) Greenwald now says, on his moonbat website, that my characterization of Feingold’s resolution on the show was “flatly inaccurate.”

Feingold’s resolution cites, as one of the reasons for censuring the president, that the president has deceived the public about the program. For example, the president claims that the program was “necessary” when, according to the resolution, it wasn’t. In other words, Feingold wants to censure the president in part because he had the temerity to defend his program. The senator is making a disagreement into an offense. I stand by that characterization (as also the characterization of Greenwald as a moonbat).
