Recall the fight over whether federal employees should lose their civil-service protections when transferred to the new Department of Homeland Security, and the way the issue was cynically used to paint Democrats as soft on the war on terror. That's how we got to the Saxby Chambliss ads showing Max Cleland taking it up the ass from Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein somewhere in France.

Don't forget, of course, the vote to authorize the war. In October 2002. Funny how that fell on the calendar, eh?
