As more information comes to light about the Beantown Bombers, it becomes increasingly clear that Uncle Ruslan was right all along: The brothers were / are a pair of not-too-bright losers. Mother Jones offers a list of odd and stupid things the Boom-Boom Bros did that directly resulted in their death and/or capture. These items include leaving their carjacked hostage alone in the vehicle while they went into a convenience store for Red Bull and then failing to toss their escaped victim’s mobile phone, enabling the cops to track their every move.
They’re murderers, sure, but sophisticated terror kingpins? Please. And yet the very lawmakers who most frequently have to pause to wring the accumulated ball-sweat out of their much-humped personal copies of the US Constitution are now ready to torch that document because of the supposed existential threat posed by clowns like the Boom-Boom Bros.
Senator Lindsey Graham, perpetually trying to butch up sufficiently to head off a possible tea party primary challenge, took to the Senate floor yesterday to baldly declare a thought-crime and ethnic-caste standard that would eliminate due process for certain American citizens:
“Here’s what we’re suggesting, that the surviving suspect — due to the ties that these two have to radical Islamic thought and the ties to Chechnya, one of most radical countries in the world — that the president declare preliminarily that the evidence suggests that this man should be treated as an enemy combatant.”
The “we” in that first clause includes Senator John McCain, the Hanoi Hilton survivor who is apparently transformed into a squealing candy ass at the sight of a teenage jihadi-wannabe’s wispy moustache. Senator Kelly Ayotte rounds out the new neocon triumvirate in lieu of the departed Joe Lieberman. She’s an improvement over her predecessor only in that her mouth isn’t bracketed by alarming skin-pleats and she doesn’t have a mewling voice that tempts listeners to drive chopsticks through their own eardrums to escape its range. But on foreign policy, she’s pretty much Joe in a dress.
In the interest of civility, let’s assume that these three and their fellow Republicans aren’t corrupt, cynical hucksters who are attempting to transform the blood of innocent people into political gain. So they must be cowards instead, sniveling, bed-wetting chicken-shits who are ready to toss our national experiment with free speech and equality before the law into the toilet and hide under the nearest rock — and not before the very real and powerful threats arrayed against it from within and without, but before a pair of moronic clowns like the Boom-Booms. Some “Daddy Party.”

The history of this country is, “cowards instead, sniveling, bed-wetting chicken-shits who are ready to toss our national experiment with free speech and equality before the law into the toilet and hide under the nearest rock.”
What makes the experiment interesting is how we’ve managed to avoid or overcome the cowards over the centuries. The president already said he wasn’t going to deem the “beantown bomber” an enemy combatant.

BOTTOM LINE anyone who’s ever practiced criminal defense law will attest to:
MOST people accused of non-traffic criminal offenses typically do *lots* of stupid things in the course of events leading up to and including the acts they are criminally accused of. In fact, as their attorney, you find yourself more often than you wish in the frustrating position of exercising a great amount of your intelligence attempting to defend or mitigate against the stupidity of you client, including all too often stupidly counterproductive things they do or say *while* you are representing them.
As to traffic-related criminal offenses…the recent notorious incident involving Reese Withershpoon illustrates that even normally fairly bright folks too often do and say really stupid things, even aside from actions leading up to the accused offense itself.
Jay in Oregon
I’m sorry that McCain and Graham don’t think that the greatest country on Earth (in their own words!) is incapable of handling suspected terrorists with honor—not respect, but honor—but that’s their failing, not mine.
My first inclination is to call McCain and Graham a couple of pussies, but that’s crude and demeaning to the gender that generally shows far more backbone and character than these two.
So instead, I’ll call them “gutless cowards”.

We all lived our lives mostly happily all through much greater danger and I know our leadership had to debate if doing something about this threat would cause a greater threat to arise. In other words bombing Cuba might make the USSR attack us or if going further into Korea might make China directly attack us. Dummies and cowards.

The right wingnuts are making a lot of the Russian request for a security check on the older brother and the FBI response. Just a couple of thoughts.
1. If she had been Chechnyan the Russians would have suspected the Virgin Mary.
2. In spite of their suspicions the Russians let this guy into their country and allowed him to travel for 6 months.
3. More importantly they let him LEAVE.
4. If they thought he was the world’s most dangerous terrorist they either would not have let him get off the plane or once he did he would have simply disappeared.
Obviously The FBI has to review what they did and did not do but if this guy was so obviously a terrorist, the Russians missed it also.

Great post, Betty Cracker, and excellent comments throughout this whole thread.
I have just one nitpick with the post: “Boom Boom Bros”.
I’m all for appropriate snark, even in the face of tragedy, but that one didn’t set well with me.
I agree wholeheartedly that we don’t want to allow the transmogrification of these murdering-asshole brothers into jihadi masterminds who are part of some larger conspiracy that somehow poses an existential threat to our civilization, or whatever McCain and Princess Lindsay imagine they might be.
Their uncle seems to have called them out pretty accurately.
But calling them the “Boom Boom Bros.” seems an unnecessarily juvenile, even trivializing, sobriquet that is inappropriate – to me – considering the murder and horrific injuries these assholes caused.
YMMV, I suppose.

This is demonstrated to me every day, and never more clearly than at my annual pilgrimage to Coachella (just got back, had a wonderful time), where occasionally sitting down on, and getting back up from, the grass during three 12-hour days of catching (mostly) great music outdoors is a process.
Used to be I could just sit down on the ground or the floor, and get up again, without a thought. Now I have to carefully consider what body part to put where, and do it slowly (like an old game of Twister) or I’ll likely hurt myself, gym and yoga notwithstanding.
