Diversionary peace process http://bit.ly/1iLdmcP

I'm pretty sure that John Cornyn had many thousands of people mocking him on Saturday night for his inane comments about the Iran deal being an administration plot to distract from the Obamacare roll-out. But apparently, Bob Schieffer of Face the Nation didn't get the joke:

Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer spoke Sunday morning to House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) about the newly-brokered deal halting portions of Iran’s uranium enrichment program, and asked if the congressman thought the Obama administration had pursued the deal to distract from the troubled Affordable Care Act rollout.

“I was on airplanes this weekend, and more than one person I was talking to about this whole deal pending with Iran said, ‘This might be a diversionary tactic by an administration desperately looking for good news,’” Schieffer said. “Would you put it in that category yet?”

I'm going to ascribe it to senility. Nobody, not even Bob Schieffer can be that dumb.
