Now just who was that tall fella who warned about the Repubs hyping Iran as a threat the closer the midterms got? It's on the tip of my tongue. Anyway, watch Sen. Allen and Coleman hyperventiate about which one hates Iran more and wants them to be 'dealt with' strongly. (Oh gawd, this could be ghastly.) A Rethug 'free-for-all' as to who is more scared by Iranian nukes could take place. Fore-warned is fore-armed. High Kerry sighting possibility, btw. Gawd, I hope so. We will need all the sanity we can find when this topic comes up.
