Sorry, it's not for sale

In the marketplace of ideas, opinions are open source. Adopt 'em or ignore 'em. Donations optional.

In the marketplace of prisoners, the ideologues who want to inpeach! Obama because he got a bad bargain in this prisoner swap are resorting to putting a thumb on the scales by inflating the value of the five "terrorists" in one pan, and devaluing Berghdahl as scum in the other pan.

But I only debunked the seditious partisan claim that Obama released five terrorists into the wild who'll immediately don suicide vests and hop a plane back to America.

On the other pan, hey, you're probably right that Berghdahl is the scum of the Earth. No need to crank up the calumny to eleven to make the point.

Though it would be deliciously funny if it turned out he was a CIA double-axel moebious mole of inestimably high value for the undercover intelligence in his head. But how would we ever know?
