Senator Chris Dodd gave a moving speech in the Senate in opposition to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. It was personal for Dodd. It's very impressive, I highly recommend reading it.

In related Connecticut news, Senator Joe Lieberman characterized the kiss Bush gave him at the State of the Union address as a "manly embrace." Here's the kiss in close-up. You decide if Lieberman could have mistaken it for a "manly embrace."

    Yes, it is the passionate “We are family” hug and kiss. WARNING SOPRANO PLOT SPOILER This male bonding is best depicted between Tony Soprano and Christopher Moltisanti after Christopher’s lover and snitch Adriana La Cerva is disappeared in a forest in upper New York State.

    and good for Dodd for standing and delivering. He will be on the right side of history in this regard. True patriot.

    CA, That was my first thought. My second was "Why give this guy the kiss of death? He's the biggest Repug ass kisser in the Dem. party."

    Dodd's speech was both moving and compelling. As he reminds us, our very own Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual punishments." (Eighth Admendment) Torture is incompatible with our values and principles.
