CNN just ran a clip of Arlen Specter pointedly disagreeing with Patrick Lehey on any Senate action against the BushCo miscreants.
Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, a harsh Gonzales critic, did not offer his support for the Democratic letter calling for the special counsel. "Pursuing in that manner against the attorney general is a very weighty, very serious matter," said Specter. He pointed out as "highly significant" that Leahy had not signed the letter -- authored by Leahy's Democratic colleagues.
Feel like Charlie Brown, yet?
That little SOB just yanked the football away again! Everytime he makes comments, askes pointed questions, or looks like he might be on the side of democracy and justice, Arlen Specter pulls a fast one, and bolts for cover.
It's time to take him down!
There is no reason to continue to provide Democratic cover for this weasel, by pretending he's on the side of America. He is every bit as slimy and devious as any other Republican in national government.
Who are we running against Specter? Time to get busy and find a candidate, and throw all of our support behind him.
UPDATE: 4:09 pm
CNN is now reporting that the White House is feeling very good that Specter didn't support the Dems on Judiciary. Seems his caving gave them heart, and allowed them to claim the Dems are "going too far".
