Right down the road to backlash, it seems. And what’s amazing is that many of the Republican Senators who signed that open letter to the Iranians didn’t see it coming.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Republicans — many of whom blessed the missive during a brisk signing session at a Senate lunch a week ago, as senators prepared to flee a Washington snowstorm — should have given it closer consideration.

“It was kind of a very rapid process. Everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm,” McCain said. “I think we probably should have had more discussion about it, given the blowback that there is.”

Are you kidding me? You people gave this letter no more thought than that? That two-bit freshman Senator from Arkansas passed it around the lunch table saying “Sign here” and you people did it with no further reflection?

God help us all if they ever get a filibuster-proof majority. They’re really really dumb.
