Lame

NYT's Blogging Heads has a video of Anne-Marie Cox and Rich Lowry debating DADT. It's pretty sad, since neither seems to have a grasp of real issues -- although Cox is much closer. The first time Lowry opens his mouth, he screws up.

It's a long video, and frankly, I don't know that I'd recommend watching the whole thing -- the basic assumptions, particularly on Lowry's part, seem to ignore the current realities.

Fox News also has a poll on repeal, which is telling -- even a Fox News poll is running decisively in favor of junking DADT, in spite of the bias of the questions. (Sorry, kids: my sexual orientation is toward other men; my sexual preference is big, hairy construction workers.)
