Tinkerbama, Clapping Louder Doesn't Do It

The vote on telcom immunity and giving the Company all your email/ phone calls/ IMs fell out about as expected.

Somehow, I don't think this guy's believing it, either.

The Unibama's speechification justifying his Quisling:

..."Under this compromise legislation, an important tool in the fight against terrorism will continue, but the President's illegal program of warrantless surveillance will be over. It restores FISA and existing criminal wiretap statutes as the exclusive means to conduct surveillance - making it clear that the President cannot circumvent the law and disregard the civil liberties of the American people..."

Unless, of course, Dear Leader thinks he neeeeeds to, and writes a secret note to himself to that effect.

The illegal part is indeed over, since with this legistlation he can do legally whatever the frak he wants to do whenever he wants.

The Oborg Prime Unit is lying, and he knows it.

Here's one possible excuse:

...I believe the very top leadership of the Democrats know that an attack on Iran is imminent, and the political fallout of that will dwarf this FISA matter. They do not want to be in a position of being blamed for withholding spying powers from Bush that could have prevented the "catalyzing event" which will be the causus belli for an attack. -sunny

Another Northwoods op just in time to rescue the Mc$ame campaign and give Cheneyburton drilling rights in Iran, and/or the spineless DINOcrats afraid of being too soft on Terra. It figures one of those explanations is correct. However, they are not mutually exclusive.
