Their World in Dust

++Buried away in my notebook are three polls worth printing.
* Rasmussen Wolf 51 to Corbett 31.
* PPP            Wolf 55 to Corbett 30.
* Quinnipiac   Wolf 53 to Corbett 33.

++Haley, Idaho had to cancel its homecoming celebration for Sgt.Bergdahl because of the hate from "faux" vets and attacks on Bergdahl's father, who was attacked on national television by Joey the Scar.

++Mayor Rudy Guiliani says the White House is running scared because of the reaction against the swap for Bergdahl.

++Capehart writes in the Imperial Post that the GOP don't trust Obama and are using the Bergdahl issue to make sure they don't do anything.

++Andrew Sullivan has a good post on how the GOP has allowed the Bergdahl issue to capture their anger at Obama's foreign policy. Andrew's point is that the GOP has perpetually been trying to make the case that Obama is weak on foreign policy and turn his basic strength into weakness. Perhaps strange to the rational,it's a natural reaction to those who see their foreign policy infrastructure  turn into dust.

++Last night the administration held hearings on the subject for the entire Senate. They showed the video that was the last they had received showing that Bergdahl's condition was rapidly deteriorating. They also said that they had been told that if the details of the deal leaked out, then Bergdahl would have been killed. That's why they didn't inform them within the 30-day period.

++This morning President said he makes no apologies for his actions and that dealing with Bergdahl was not dealing with an abstraction but a living being.

++Meanwhile Sylvia Matthews Burwell was approved as the HHS Secretary taking over from Kathleen Sebelius. Today it was announced that the uninsured fell to the lowest level since Gallup covered insurance rates.

++Bernie Sanders and John McCain buried the hatchet and agreed to a new VA funding bill to address the agency's shortcomings.
