The power of the unconscious mind

Yesterday morning, on one of those dreadul fake news interview shows, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions said the most amazing thing. In praising Senator Joe Lieberman, Sessions said that all of the Democrats had voted for the war, but Lieberman had gone on to actively support it, and that "he has supported the president, who was elected this time."

Doubtless, what Sessions thought he meant was probably something like "elected without a court case," but it was a hell of a slip.

Of course, he wasn't elected this time, but that doesn't appear to bother anyone.
