Senator Spectre once again sold out to the Bushies, or maybe he was threatened by the evil Sen. Hatch. Because now he has backed off from his call to subpoena the Telecommunications Executives to find out why they ignored the US Constitution and tapped our phones for
Big Brother Bush and his enforcer, Buckshot Cheney.
Here is the NPR audio link of Senator Leahy's sarcastic comments.
My transcript follows after the break:
Senator Leahy: Why don't we just recess for the rest of the year, and pass a resolution, which a republican controlled congress could easily pass, and just simply say we'll have no more hearings, and Vice President Cheney will just tell the nation what laws we'll have.
Wimpy WaPo has a Pitiful Pincus story about the hearing, naturally they don't include Senator Leahy's remarks, that might upset their Bushie cronies or the WH lap-dog press corps.

This sums up the Bushies and Buckshot Cheney in a nutshell, they essentially are telling the congress and all of us to just get lost, Cheney and Unitary Dictator Bush will decide what the laws are, and whether they will bother to follow them. King George's "signing statements" are just the tip of the iceberg, just imagine all the secret forever "Executive Orders" he has issued to monitor, harass, and cheat all of us. This is one out of control administration, and the RWCM and compliant congress critters are not doing much to even oppose them, much less rein them in.
This was also diaried yesterday Specter Continues to Fold on Oversight here on the most excellent internet blogging site.
And yes, Senator Spectre (mis-spelling is intentional) continues to fold whenever his masters in Bushville pull his leash, he is a truly despicable creature despite his pretence at independence, just one more Bush enabler.
