Gabe at CT Local Politics goes into far greater detail rebutting the lies and distortions of CT GOP chair Chris Healy on the Protect America Act and retroactive immunity that I covered yesterday. Gabe takes about a dozen separate hits on Healy while breaking down the release step by step. I liked this part:

If I was meaner, and more willing to get into the spirit of the CT GOP’s press release, I would insinuate that their opposition to the the rule of law was not due to a (false) concern about safety, but due to the campaign contributions Republicans receive from telecom companies ($61.5+ Million to Republicans since 1990 – 56% of their total). After all, “[t]he entire issue here is liability protection for the carriers.”

Gabe doesn’t quite go there, but he succeeds in making Healy and the CT GOP look even more foolish than previously imagined.
