Today's most dangerous charlatan is GOP Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter. He's the Head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, supposedly a principled statesman last man standing at the barbarian BushCheneyCo gates.
Just a day or two ago, he went public with his anger at Dick Cheney, who it appears is personally working to insure the cover-up of the illegal NSA phone-tapping of U.S. citizens without having bothered to ask for the Congressionally-mandated court order. Cheney went behind Specter's back to influence the committee. Specter told the media he was incensed.
What a difference a day makes.
Specter has completely caved. He folded to committee member John Kyl (R-AZ) and 100% de-toothed his proposed legislation.
One of the key provisions: TOTAL AMNESTY for the criminal lawbreakers, from Bush and Cheney down through their hired help, for anyone's role in this breach of our Constitutional form of government.
Glenn Greenwald has the best breakdown of this massive legal breakdown.
If you're not pissed yet, check out Jack Cafferty for a lesson.
What do they have on Specter? Do they have photos of him fucking, like, a car? Are they holding one of his grandchildren hostage? Do they just have his balls in a vise?
The fix is in.
The only slim hope for the future may be your outrage.
