40. Trouble is, it's not just "saying stupid shit."

Do you think Graham has no plans to make good on his pledge? Do you think If Obama softens his anti-Palestinian positions, Graham and fellows will side with the president over Israel's prime minister?

Fact is there's just not a good term for when members of a nation's leadership that promise to serve the interests of a foreign nation over their own, that isn't "treason." Out legal code of course requires more than that for charges of treason, but accusation is perfectly valid.

Welcome to the dichotomy between legalese and english.
