I’ll tell ya what…..I just watched Batiste on the Chris Matthews show, and they might as well bring in some crackhead off the street as well a talk to him. He makes NO sense at all.

Democrats who won control of the U.S. House of Representatives largely because of voter discontent with Iraq said on Tuesday they will hold a forum next month to examine options in the unpopular war.
