Yep. Covers all of this week's Dimowit "Talking Points" doesn't it? *Rolleyes*

"Feingold All In A Dither" Ping! ;)

he responded by saying "it's not the policy or the agenda of this president to authorize actions that would be in contravention of our criminal statutes" - a statement that appears to have been a lie.

Only if the activity in question was criminal. Which is hardly clear enough to claim here.

I'm always impressed with fair and balanced articles that don't draw conclusions before the facts are in and don't use character assassination and demonization tactics against the subjects of their article.

This editorial fails on every count....worthless piece of trash.

[G.Mason]

Congress had best be reading the Constitution, or have someone that can read, read it to them.

I believe they will find out that the President of the United States is the Commander in Chief and runs the war.

The Congress may pay for it, or not, and they get to give out a few medals, if they behave themselves.

he specifically asked if Gonzales felt the Bush administration had the authority to authorize warrantless wiretaps in violation of statutory prohibitions. According to the transcript of the exchange, the nominee attempted to avoid answering by dismissing it as "hypothetical."

If I was asked a question which regarded a TS/SCI program the Senator was not authorized to know about, I would give the same sort of answer.

The real question is whether the Senator received classified information he was not authorized to have when he asked this line of questioning. It seems like a setup in an open session of the Senate.

Oh, Feingold's got us now. Gonzales promised that congress would be informed before they did anything like the NSA wiretap stuff, and ...

Oh wait. Congress WAS informed about this. Well, we can forgive Feingold, it's a secret program and only the intelligence committees were told, so since....

Oh wait. Feingold IS on those committees. So he should have already known about this program.

I wonder, did Feingold go to Rockefeller last year and ask HIM if there was any program in place? Did Rockefeller "lie" to him?

[dead]

This sounds like Moonbat Breaking News!

Obviously, this spells the 6,975th official End of the Regime!!

[meandog]

Geeeze, sleeze...it sounds as though the editorial writer has a real "Love Jones" for the senator who believed good budget money should be spent on the study of bovine flatulence rather than on armor for our troops.

What an idiot!

[KenmcG414]

It boggles the mind how these lo-life senators have completely forgotten what took place on 9/11!! God bless the President for taking it upon himself to do the right thing. That's what we elected him for.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

What part of "Article II" and "co-equal" don't these fools understand? Oh...Madison.com is the Madison Newspapers website...never mind.

[pankot]

Feingold: "WaaWaaWaa, I wanna be on the ticket for President."

[oldbrowser]

......... I find this testimony misleading, and deeply troubling. I will expect a full explanation at the hearing."

Has anyone ever seen Feingold and Algore in the same room at the same time ?

[GeorgeW23225]

Feingold couldn't "pin" the tail on the donkey. On second thought, perhaps he could........what a jackass!!

[IamConservative]

The only way Feingold can make the claim he has made is for him to have presumed guilt, which is of course contrary to the concept of our justice system.

[Mo1]

Feingold continued the line of questioning, asking, "Finally, will you commit to notify Congress if the president makes this type of decision and not wait two years until a memo is leaked about it?"

What memo ???

I haven't heard anything about a memo leaked on the wiretapping

[SirLinksalot]

Here is a question for you...

Why are Republican lawmakers were so adamant that Alberto Gonzales testimony be NOT under oath? Is is an example of serving the people and serving truth? Why don't they want
to him to be under oath?
