Edited on Sun Dec-18-05 11:29 AM by Walt Starr

1. H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E-S. They did not really believe it then, and they do not
believe it now.

4. "the cheerleader"
She will rubber stamp anything that this President says - so much for any kind of leadership. These people are transparent.

3. Watching Lindsey Graham on "Face the Nation"
was agony. Like dental work w/o anaesthetic.

There he sat: the man who led the charge to impeach Clinton for lying about a censensual quasi-sex act. And Bob Schieffer couldn't bring himself to ask the one question we all want answered, to-wit: "Senator, you were a key player in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Tell us, Senator, does violating the Constitution of the United States to spy on American citizens rise to the same impeachable level as oral sex?"

He just couldn't do it. He just couldn't.

6. Why couldn't he?
I wish just one of these journalists could ask such questions that so desperately need answers. These people should be made to stand behind what they've said. What's the matter with asking a politician to defend his principles, or even define them?

The press has a responsibility to the country to ask such questions.

Please ask these hypocrites! Ask them, Dammit!

8. They *do* ask the hard questions
if there's a democrat and sex involved. That sells.

The MSM is so convinced of the stupidity of the masses that they're convinced anything other than sex makes Americans change channels and go looking for a re-run of "Who Wants To Marry a Millionaire's Apprentice's Survivor."

5. 9/11 changed everything
Our nation is at war, and the enemy doesn't wear a uniform, and lives and breathes among us! Oversight is a quaint idea of the past, all it does is help our enemies, who pray on the intracate details of our legal system.

:sarcasm:

9. The "Rule of Law" only applies to lesser peoples like Democrats
Republicans are chosen by God and do not have to answer to anyone or anything.

10. Well what do you expect?
Those that screamed that "perjury" was a national crisis THEN didn't think so when Libby got indicted, did they?

12. I think you saying "I can't believe..." is hyperbole
I think you can not only believe it, you'd expect exactly that from the hypocrites who populate the neotheofascist movement.
