LOST at Sea

I can't believe I haven't used that pun before! At any rate, as part of the GOP's continued march to the lunatic right, Senate Republicans who used to back the Law of the Sea Treaty are now flip-flopping deciding that Frank Gaffney knows more about keeping the country safe than do the combined forces of the military, the State Department, and basically everyone else.

C'mon, Matt, let the puns speak for themselves! You don't have to announce the suckers. It's always fun to see who picks up on them immediately, and who slaps their heads three hours later. :)

Simple election calculus. You can lose a few votes from the far right for 'selling out on national sovereignty' if you support the LOST, but will you lose any votes for opposing the treaty? In most cases, probably not.
