arlen spector is mad as hell and he's not gonna take it anymore

[BOSSHOG]

Pennsylvania's senior senator is just about had it up to here with the white house just running roughshod over congress and wants answers about the wiretapping and other intelligence information. And this time he's serious. He's put his foot down, by god. Heard a short clip on the senator's state of pissiness on the radio this pm. Gosh arlen, just how does it feel.

[tsuki]

1. Yeah, til 'bout the time they tell him to stand down. nt

[napi21]

2. I was wondering how long it would take to really pi** off one of the

prominent Pubs? /sometimes I could kick Spector, but he IS one of the few Pubs who can occasionally be rational. He alweilds quite a bit of power in the Senate, so we'll see just how much he can do!

[blm]

13. Yeah - but rational lasts as long as a Chinese takeout dinner with Spector

.

[Not Me]

3. Hey Arlen, get a couple of like minded 'pubs and switch sides

Wouldn't that be something.

[rniel]

4. chirp...chirp...chirp

the crickets sing.

[Supersedeas]

17. until the Networks take note, Rove and the NeoCons can ignore dissent

[Dr Fate]

18. Who is stopping House hold name Democrats from bringing it up on TV?

n/t

[LSparkle]

5. Remember he's the one who at least allowed a hearing

on Feingold's censure motion. I think his bout with cancer has caused an epiphany of sorts (not to mention when the Thugs tried to strip him of his committee chairmanship and threatened to run some theocon against him in the Thug primary). I respect him more than most of his side.

[sharp_stick]

6. He'll bend over and take it just like he's always done

As soon as Bush and Frist tell him to shut up and toe the line I bet he does it.

[Master Mahon]

7. Poor Arlan

Arlan, When you 'sleep with the GOPigs' you're going to
get dirty

[ArbustoBuster]

8. He's probably posturing for the cameras.

I'm a Pennsylvanian, and I've gotten pretty damned tired of Arlen talking like he's going to do something, then backing off from action when the cameras turn away.

[AlinPA]

12. Yep, he sucks up to Bush and Santorum. He is a phony. n/t

[Marnieworld]

14. yep- two words

Samuel Alito. Arlen is a blowhard. He is useless.

[gratuitous]

9. Again?

{Yawn}

Arlen's always real mad about something or other when someone's aiming a camera at him. But convene a hearing? Issue some subpoenas? Get some testimony under oath? Well, let's not go crazy, right Arlen?

He'll be back kissing Santorum's Santorum and handing another blank check to the White House tomorrow.

[flordehinojos]

10. don't give me shit arlen specter. they are running roughshod over you

because you have enabled them. you either put up. or you shut up. you cannot have it both ways.

[montanacowboy]

11. PFFFFFFFFTTTTTT

right - Spector "the magic bullet theory"

asshole - liar - enabler of the BFEE from wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back

[hvn_nbr_2]

19. He regularly makes a lot of noise just before he gets in line.

Just when you think he found himself some independence, he says, "Just kidding. Whatever you want, Shrubya."

[DrGonzoLives]

25. Exactly

Sound, fury, idiot, etc.

[ChiciB1]

15. Doesn't He "DO THIS" On A Regular Basis???

Seems I've heard how "moderate" he is, but when it comes down to the BRASS (uh tacks) he generally just sits on them!

It WOULD be nice to see him follow through once in a while!

[hvn_nbr_2]

20. My reply #19 was really trying to reply to this one.

Guess my fingers and eyeballs are getting old.

[leesa]

16. Well, you blessed it, asshole.

[ChiciB1]

21. Just Saw Him On C-Span 2 & He Didn't Seem All That Fired Up!

Said he wasn't going to call the Attorney General back to a hearing BECAUSE Alberto won't TELL them anything. So, it seems there won't be another hearing. Also said, MAYBE the public could get fired up about this like they did about Abu Garaib and they could do more.

Went on to say that the WH just won't answer them, but gave no specific statements as to any specific ACTION he was going to take!

So is could be more of Arlen spewing but not "dewing" anything!

[Beelzebud]

22. Magic Bullet enabled them to do what they do, and now he complains.

Fuck Arlen "Magic Bullet" Spector.

[Tanyah]

23. I'll take it

I want some damn answers too!

Bush should have been impeached last year! What the hell is the House of Reps doing? Why won't they introduce articles of impeachment?

[bdamomma]

27. bush should have been impeached in 2000

for stealing the presidency.

[xchrom]

24. full of sound and fury, signifying not very much.

[Doctor_J]

26. Yawn

I hear all kinds of CRAP about how Specter, Chaffee, Snowe, are actual moderate statesmen. How much resistence have they given while fascism has been imposed on the country? None, that's how much.

[windy252]

28. Is it a bad sign

when I almost collapsed on the floor laughing at the idea Arlen Specter won't take it anymore?

[Mz Pip]

29. Specter and McCain

talk the talk on rare occasions but never follow through.

He won't do anything except ruffle his feathers and puff out his chest a bit. Then he'll sort of go back to blending in with all the other Bush sycophants.

I'm not impressed.
