SEN. FEINSTEIN IS PISSING ME OFF

Her moronic proposal to ban all sorts of assault weapons after the massacre in Newtown, Conn. only served to give ammunition to those who oppose any sort of gun control and now she's defended Clapper the Liar, according to p.m. carpenter:

Did Feinstein "misunderstand" Greenwald's argument, as she laughably maintained DNI James Clapper did when he lied in response to Sen. Wyden's question about NSA amassing data on millions?

UPDATE: Here's the Feinstein quote from ABC's "This Week" transcript:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. RON WYDEN, D-OREGON: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?

JAMES CLAPPER, DNI: No, sir.

WYDEN: It does not?

CLAPPER: Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently, perhaps, collect, but not wittingly.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Feinstein, I have to confess, I have a hard time squaring that answer with what we learned this week.

FEINSTEIN: Well, I think this is very hard. There is no more direct or honest person than Jim Clapper, and I think both Mike and I know that. You can misunderstand the question. This is one of the dilemmas of talking about it. He could have thought the question had content or something, but it is true that this is a wide collection of phone records, as Mike said. No name, no content. But the number to number, the length of time, the kind of thing that's on the telephone bill, and we have to deal with that.
