Regardless of the ultimate outcome of Ed Snowden's

whistleblowing, something very useful  has already 

happened:  ideological 'bright lines' have been blown to

smithereens, with liberals finding themselves allied with 

conservatives, and vice versa.  When was the last time

you heard Michael Savage ranting against Fox News,

and Dianne Feinstein and John Boehner singing

'Treasonous Traitor' in two-party harmony?  Now

we can more clearly see where the ideological

'bright lines' are really drawn.
