His voice sounds strong. He was willing to walk out of chambers and defer the speech until later, because he has another appointment that he would not miss.
I find it interesting that Byrd will go on and on about all of these wiretaps that Bush supposedly has done on just regular folks..talking to their friends and family....
And insinutating that Bush would go after anyone who makes a phone call and says anything negative about the war in Iraq...he says how AWFUL that scenario would be that Americans would have to worry about everything they said during a phone call, e-mail...etc...
BUT, these same people get INCENSED when President Bush and Alberto Gonzalez refuse to turn over President Bush's personal memos, e-mails, and phone records...
Just think about how awful it would be if no one could speak "truth to power" without wondering if their memo, e-mail or phone call would be made public and disected by the idiot media..and Congress.
