This revelation of the lack of knowledge or insight that politicians have ten years after 9/11 prove that politicians DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! They want to go along to get along, do what their bosses tell them so that they can climb the ladder of success. The party bosses and the money people tell them what to think and what to say and they do not venture an opinion until it is cleared by their bosses. We saw this very dramatically with the Obamacare bill, they were expected to vote blindfolded. This is how politics is done. Most of if happens behind the scenes and everyone takes their orders if they know what is good for them. If they speak out they will be excommunicated as they are doing to Michelle Bachmann.

It's unfortunate, but so true, that we have so few pols who will at least attempt to stand up for what's right, and they are branded as kooks. Only exceptions I can think of offhand, I haven't heard too much "kook" labeling against Grassley and Issa, pursuing Fast and Furious. There's some, but they aren't being attacked the way Palin and Bachmann are attacked.

Maybe it's because, in spite of Democrat rhetoric, they gots themselves a problem with powerful women, the same way they have a problem Col West and Clarence Thomas.
