Hi.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:18 pmHilarious satire, TP. Keep up the good work!
March 8th, 2006 at 3:19 pmfunniest post ever
March 8th, 2006 at 3:22 pmHey, we don't care if you rob a bank, take some people hostage, and then shoot a couple of guards.
We just want you to let us know after you do it some of the details about your crime. Oh, and you have a month and a half to let us know that, even. Take your time. No rush.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:28 pmLMAO that is great.

It would be funny if it were not true. I am beginning to wonder if we have lost our country forever to these criminals. Maybe it's time to move to Canada.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:43 pmAnd if you do get caught speeding for any reason, we'll just make it legal after the fact.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:53 pmWhat about Sen. Snowe from Maine. Is she going to come out and barf or laugh the first time she gets her "updated" briefing? Letting a few more people in on the secret with such dubious restrictions makes me feel more screwed and less safe. Terms limits folks thats the only hope. Think about that vote, if the democrats were in the majority the fire would have been started. This is purely partisan ass covering. If there was ever a legitimate concern to be addressed about the President's assumption of powers this was it. Again I feel less safe and more vulnerable to becomming a witness to crimes I cannont respond to.
March 8th, 2006 at 3:57 pmCome on, we all know the score. Cheney calls Roberts and asks him, do you really want to uncover something that would risk impeachment and our majority?
March 8th, 2006 at 4:10 pmGreat sign. I just told my sons and their friends to go ahead and wreak havoc, just make sure they let the cops know about it within 45 days, then it's ok.
March 8th, 2006 at 4:12 pmOfficer, I was speeding for national security reasons. I thought we were all concerned about national security but obviuosly I was wrong. Do you really hate the president so much you would be willing to ticket me over it?

You hit the nail on the head. What else could it be? Just as sure as we are breathing, the NSA was eavesdropping on members from both sides of the aisle in Congress (and others who went up against the administration at times, such as Powell). Probably had some good dirt on them, too. Had the Intelligence Committee investigated, and found out who was on the list, Congress would have had no choice but to impeach and remove them from office. End of the Bush empire.
Contrast this with the ports deal. Yeah, Bush has threatened a veto of any attempt to block the deal, but that's been about it. Suppose a bill goes through to block, and Bush's veto is overridden. At worst it's political egg on Bush's face, and another company gets to manage the ports. Bush keeps his job, and the public is impressed enough with the Repubs' stance on national security that they maintain control of Congress in Nov.
March 8th, 2006 at 4:26 pmThey continue to prove it -- they cannot be trusted. Do NOT believe what they say, watch what they do.
March 8th, 2006 at 4:32 pmRoberts is a Bush ass-kisser, no denying it.
You're not in Kansas anymore, Pat.
March 8th, 2006 at 4:32 pmQuit trying to be the wicked with of the west
and try to get some business done.
If not for our sake, do it because we're the
ones paying your old white ass to do something
That's some funny stuff.
What else is funny is that David Horowitz looks just like Mark Borchardt from American Movie: http://miblogweighsaton.blogspot.com/2006/03/questions-for-david-horowitz.html
March 8th, 2006 at 4:47 pmGreat! No laws! Go for it! Let's get it on!
March 8th, 2006 at 5:17 pmFrom the FISA act as currently written: CHAPTER 36 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1802
"(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General certifies in writing under oath that—"
you can look up the conditions for yourself. Bottom line, one year, no court order, for foreign intel collection, as long as minimization procedures are followed. Now you all see how the liberal leadership has lied you into deep disappointment. This surveillance was already authorized. bobbleleads

March 8th, 2006 at 5:29 pmHey Ray,
How about you give the full section, so as to not lie to anybody. There are resrictions in that section followed by the "certifies in writing under oath that -"
The most important part of this is in the part you posted:
Alberto Gonzales was not sworn in.
Sorry, you are trying to pass off a lie. Sorry, my Kung-Fu is stronger than your Kung-Fu.
Your deceit failed bobblehead.
March 8th, 2006 at 7:29 pmroberts is a perfect example of a individual that serves no purpose on earth. All he is doing is taking up much needed supplies of water, air, and space. As a senator, he is a liar, appologist diaper wering stooge that is not even serving his own supporters!
March 8th, 2006 at 7:31 pmHe is in essence, a piece of garbage! and he Must be removed from the senate.
I have a couple of questions.
Can Senators be impeached or do they have to be removed by violation of the law?
Or can they only be removed by violating rules of an ethics committee?
I ask these questions because I would like to see my Republican Senators,Hutchinson and Cornyn, either put in jail for the torture that they have allowed or exile them to a third world country. Putting them in front of the Hague would be a dream come true.
What can I do as a citizen to remove these yahoos from office?
March 8th, 2006 at 8:28 pmspludge boy, thanks for the help, didn't have time to go through it all, but you hit the key points
"communications used exclusively between or among foreign powers," this includes foreign agents in the USA if the communication is international.
"no substantial likelihood that the surveillance will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United States person is a party" notice it says no likelihood, not that it is illegal if it happens, that is covered under the minimization procedures.
"meet the definition of minimization procedures" this means if unintential surveillance of a US person occurs, procedures have to be followed such as destruction of the surveillance material. It does not mean "go to jail if this happens".
It's all right there if only you guys would learn to read and comprehend.
March 8th, 2006 at 10:33 pmI guess its a good thing Bush is too incompetent for a coup. Of course by the time this three years are up we won't be worth taking over.
March 8th, 2006 at 10:49 pmIf Fitzgerald does his job properly, he will indict the White House Iraq Group and Sen Roberts and former Rep Goss, now CIA, as co-conspirators. These two congressmen are traitors of the worst kind. They enabled Cheney and the Chimp to invade Iraq by concealing conflicting intelligence which would have undermined congressional support for the war. Sen. Roberts continues to block meaningful oversight which would clearly expose the lies that led to an unjust war. Roberts should have been a moonshiner and from what I hear he would be very happy and the country a more honorable place to live.
March 9th, 2006 at 12:14 amRoberts is a Republican whore who has ZERO morality! If he had one once of decency he would resign from the Senate in complete shame and beg for forgiveness!
March 9th, 2006 at 1:09 amCorrection: ounce NOT once lol.
March 9th, 2006 at 1:10 amRoberts is singlehandedly keeping Bush from impeachment... the bastard...
