Reading a little Bob Geiger today, as I do so often, and it made me think of Congressperson Jim Matheson in a sad way. It also made me think of Congresspersons Cannon and Bishop in a head shaking, ‘you bastards’ kind of way. Let’s see if you can figure out why.

From Geiger via Crooks and Liars:we hear a little missive from Sherrod Brown (D-OH),

Audience Member: “In 2006, when you were still a member of the House of Representatives you voted for the Military Commissions Act, which had as one of its elements, the suspension of Habeas Corpus. Given your recent efforts to restore Habeas Corpus, would you still cast that same vote today.”

Brown: “No, I was wrong.”

Period.

Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?
