Arlen Specter, Are You That Somebody?

[journalist3072]

"The party needs somebody to stand up to the president."

-Senator (and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee) Arlen Specter, speaking on the need for the Republican Party to challenge the Bush Crime Team's warrantless spying program.

Of course you are right, Mr. Chairman. But I have one question for you: are you that somebody?

How ironic is it, that you now criticize BushCo's illegal domestic spying program.

But when you had Attorney General Alberto Gonzales before your Committee, you cowered.

May I remind you, Arlen, that you refused to swear in Alberto Gonzales before his testimony at the spy program. By refusing to swear him in and put him under oath, you gave him wiggle room to lie, without fear of perjury charges.

What were you so afraid of, that you didn't want Gonzales under oath, even when he said he would be willing to raise his right hand and be sworn in for his testimony?

As your fellow Rethuglicans might say: "Flip-flop! Flip-flop!"

1. Arlen Specter is a spineless bastard, blowing hot air.

He always sides with Bush and the rest of the crime family.

2. That's exactly right....

Which is why I asked the rhetorical question to him "are you that somebody?"

Because clearly he is not. He's proven that.
