President George Bush today promised Senate Democrats that the National Security Agency (NSA) would not secretly listen in to their floor speeches during debate over the Supreme Court confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito, even though Democrats have promised to make the legality of NSA wiretaps a major issue during the debates.
“We don’t want to impinge upon the Democrat’s civil rights,” said President Bush, “So I’ve received assurances from the NSA and most other government agencies that no one will listen in on their speeches.”
The president said that Democrat Senators could “speak their minds without fear that anyone will ever hear a word they say.”

"The president said that Democrat Senators could “speak their minds without fear that anyone will ever hear a word they say.”" A brilliant way for him to call the Democrats a joke that no one wants to laugh at!

Yeah. Too bad it's only sarcasm and not something he really said.

What NSA needs is to record in GWB's voice the phrase "o Lord, how boring" with a loud audible yawn. Then they could judiciously inject the recording in phone conversations of our usual suspects. Ted Kennedy would probably immerdiately go into cardiac arrest unless he could grab a stiff one to revive himself. I'd think that GWB would be the first to laugh at the prank.
