Good Monday morning, once again, fellow political jinkies. The NFL season may be over, but the political season inside the Beltway is 24/7/365. So join us, if you can, as those wacky Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee reprise their pitiful efforts to once again smear President Bush and score political points..
"As Wilbur Mills said to Ted Kennedy "At least my girl could swim"
Speaking of Fanny Fox, having the choice to roe or wade, she chose wade. The tidal basin is too shallow to swim in. Too bad Kennedy didn't drive his Oldsmobile in it too.
Man. He really goofed up that line from the song The Gambler
I can't even follow what Biden is saying; I think I get his point but he's so all over the place that it's impossible to transcribe.
(this guy is a grand standing idiot!)
He said the mere fact that it remains in the newspapers on a constant basis is a further reminder to the enemy.
Of course, naming that certain people were arrested would give away metods.
Biden and the RATZ are going to say that the program was/is ineffectual and America is not safer. Because we can't name results.
Biden: This reminds me of the Supreme Court hearing. (POS - pretending that it means Gonzales won't answer the question).
Now Plugs is worrying about the next President, he or she...
We were in her home, and she sounds senile now when discussing politics. Otherwise, I would debate away.
Or perhaps they were not "arrested", more like they were "eliminated" ?
Nothing excuses the rudeness we're seeing on display here. Nothing.
Plugs. Now laughing at these hearings..."this reminds me of the Supreme Court hearings"...
Plugs. OMG..did you HEAR him laughing AT Gonzalea?
PFAWF Asks Court to Enforce FOIA Request on NSA Warrantless Domestic Spying
People For the American Way Foundation (PFAWF) today filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking an injunction requiring the National Security Agency (NSA) to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed late last year. The complaint asks the court to enforce a request for documents related to recently disclosed warrantless wiretapping undertaken by the Bush administration.
“Our Constitution and laws protect Americans’ rights even during wartime,” said PFAWF President Ralph G. Neas. “The Freedom of Information Act is designed to help Americans understand what their government is doing. The NSA needs to comply with the law.”
Neas made clear that PFAWF’s December 29, 2005 FOIA request for information on the scope and history of the wiretap program did not seek to gain access to classified information. The request specifically stated that PFAWF would accept a list, with names of targeted individuals redacted, showing the number of people who were subjected to the surveillance in question.
Federal law requires federal government agencies to respond to standard FOIA requests within 20 business days. PFAWF filed an expedited request to which the NSA was required to respond within 10 calendar days. To date, the NSA has neither complied with nor officially acknowledged receiving the request.
“The Freedom of Information Act is clear,” said PFAWF Legal Director Elliot Mincberg, “The NSA is compelled to answer the request and release documents.”
Since being made public in a New York Times article, the NSA’s illegal domestic spying program has raised concerns from the public and members of Congress from both parties. The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding hearings investigating the legality of President Bush’s domestic spying program beginning today.

"Mr. Biden, we only use a tool if it's effective."
"Mr. Chairman, could I please ask for a break?"
ROFL!!!!!!
Even Mort Kondracke is sane enough to realize Biden is an "obnoxious blowhard".
Gee, Biden, I'm sure the President just reads the same paper Senator Schumer reads to make his decision on extending every 45 days. After all, how often does the NYT report that bin Laden still hasn't been found?
YES.
These guys are unbelievable.
