She's funny, sometimes even thoughtful, and she looks like Martha Raye.

LOS ANGELES — Censure?
Driving home recently, I heard a story about Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s decision to support an administration proposal to provide absolute immunity from civil suit to telecommunications companies that cooperated with warrantless and illegal eavesdropping of their subscribers’ conversations.
As a member of he Judiciary Committee, Feinstein’s support was obviously important, and I found myself shaking my head as I drove.
Why grant immunity, I thought to myself, and why absolute immunity, without any regard to whether they knew or should have known that the requests being made of them were illegal? What kind of message would this send for the future about the responsibility of these companies to protect the privacy they promised to their subscribers, or about nobody being above the law-- not to mention the decades-long struggle of civil rights and civil liberties lawyers to limit the occasions where absolute immunity, which is to say, "above the law" status, is granted to either public or private defendants?

Pres. Bush has raised the bar of dignity in political communication consistently.
Do we have to come up with a new nickname? Did Susan Estrogen get married? They have her name as Susan Landau.
Please say it isn’t true.
Thanks. Good article.
“not to mention the decades-long struggle of civil rights and civil liberties lawyers to limit the occasions where absolute immunity, which is to say, “above the law” status, is granted to either public or private defendants?”
Pattern of behavior? Maybe Mz. Feinstein is very interested in absolute immunity for public or private defendants.
Pardon me; but did Susan make a point in this article? I am not sure. The only thing I could be sure of was the biting she did on Republicans and President Bush. If she thinks dimwits can’t do worse; she should go over to Daily Kos or DU where every other word is a cuss word and the descriptions of people they don’t like; well; it’s just plain sick.
I don’t think she really knows conservatives does she. We’re sane.
Or perhaps they already have an October surprise, but need some legal cover in order to use it?
I know Martha Raye was very patriotic.
She was of that generation when patriotism was just presumed.
