The closed Senate session will obviously be the lead story on the
network news tonight, but it accomplishes nothing. There will be no new
information?what can the senators tell each other, particularly when
half of them are outside the Senate chamber making statements to the
press about how brilliant, sneaky, unprecedented, or perfectly normal
this all is? It’s one of those things that makes me appreciate the
General Assembly; where at least sneakiness, corruption, and
grandstanding produce results?however bad they may be.
