Why do Feinstein and Wyden sound much different on the torture issue now?

The two Senators spent the year emphatically insisting that the CIA's interrogators comply with the Army Field Manual. With Democrats in control, they're not so emphatic any longer

    Oh yeah, her....

    My Senator, Feinstein, is truly one of the biggest phonies in Washington (and I think everyone will agree with me that that is saying something). Feinstein wouldn't piss on her own mother if she was burning to death if she got even the whiff of an idea that doing so might cost her politically with the pro-fire lobby.

    Now there's a whole bunch of asshats here in California trying to get her to run for Governor. Schwarzenegger never looked so good.
