It did what it was supposed to do. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence distracted us first from Jonathan Gruber's testimony and later from one more Republican sell-out of the people who voted for them.
One last little diversion to get us to the holidays. Mission accomplished.
If Feinstein's report was also supposed to incite civil discontent, it failed in that endeavor. Outside the Beltway and CNN studios the scandal sheet would be met with a giant, "So what?" I don't foresee a lot of mini Fergusons breaking out over Khalid Shakes Who? I don't foresee angry people with American flags hanging out on overpasses demanding the prosecution of Dick Cheney. I don't foresee tens of thousands of bikers descending on our nation's capitol to vent their anger over how many Ensures a blubber ass terrorist can suck down. I don't foresee work stoppages or strikes. Not even the amazingly pliable Occupy crowd can be herded up for this one. Will anyone even send an email on the formerly-rotund killer's behalf? Maybe after the New Year. Maybe not.
This might not be a free lunch for the Democrats. The word of the day is pushback as in the CIA is going to pushback on this fairy tale and expose one more Democrat-advanced Gruberism. We might have a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and an even happier new year. Ho. Ho. Ho.
