Well it didn’t take long for the Republicans in our Kindercongress
to politicize the tragic bombing in Boston . Republican Representatives Michael McCaul of Texas and Peter King of New York fired off a letter to the nation’s
intelligence agencies stating the F.B.I. handling of the case was an
“intelligence failure.” Never to be
outdone, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham declared, “The fact that we could not track him has to be fixed. It’s people like
this that you don’t want to let out of your sight, and this was a mistake. I
don’t know if our laws are insufficient or the F.B.I. failed, but we’re at war
with radical Islamists, and we need to up our game.” Let’s throw in a crack at the “radical
Islamists” to fire up more hatred against us while we are at it. You can just feel the Republicans gearing up
for a Congressional hearing so they can have another Benghazi moment. Just for good measure, Republican Senator
Chuck Grassley of Iowa
implied that the bombing raised questions about our immigration system that
should be examined in the context of the bill under consideration (translation “slow
it down”). Nothing like a good tragedy
to bring out the worst in our Republican lawmakers.
