Congress = Captain Renault from "Casablanca"

I had to chuckle when I heard Ken Olbermann's guest Jonathan Turley from George Washington University make this comment regarding the Torture Principals meetings in the White House and whether or not their will ever be a war crimes trial:

" Congress is like a convention of Claude Raines actors -- everyone is saying we're "shocked, Shocked!" that there's torture being discussed at the White House - nobody's doing anything about it"



I had a similar thought in a earlier post back in December (watch the clip!). I love the actor Claude Rains so much, Congress would be giving him a bad rap in the comparison. Still, the character Capt. Renault redeems himself by the end of the movie so let's hope its a somewhat apt comparison...
