Specter is back on the bus

[sharp_stick]

That didn't take long, the piece of shit gasbag known as Arlen Specter that the media likes to call "independent" because he sometimes says mean things about the other piece of shit gasbag Alberto Gonzalez is already back in line for ol shrubbie and the rest of the junta.

He's come out and said: per cnn.com
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/07/26/gonzales.testimony/index.html

Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee and a harsh Gonzales critic, said he doesn't support Schumer's request for a special prosecutor.

Specter accused the senators who signed the letter of moving too quickly on allegations that are "very, very serious," without consulting the rest of the panel. He noted that Leahy's name was missing on the letter.

"I think the fact that he has not signed it is highly significant," Specter said. "I don't think you rush off and ask for appointment of a special counsel to run that kind of an investigation."

And even more tellingly the line:

The president, he added, "feels very strongly that there's been nothing improper here."

Fuck you Specter! people are on to your game of pretending to be all tough and ready to play Mr. independent just in time to go visit Bush so he can set you straight.

We can't trust anybody with an (R) behind their name, not Specter, not Collins, Snow, Hagel or any of the other fucking pukes in the capitol. If they really meant to be independent they'd dump that dictatorial party of pricks once and for all. Collins and Snow are two Senators that I really want to see gone after 2008.

1. That's our Arlen.

Craven traitor to the core.

[nebenaube]

4. what did you expect from Mr. Magic Bullet? n/t

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

16. GMTA (great minds think alike).. n/t

[IChing]

11. No surprise with that......He is as straight as his magic bullet.

[rodeodance]

2. Specter was on air force One today with Bush--they had a folksy chat!

[VP505]

36. Did he

deplane with his arm in a sling from being twisted too much???

[mmonk]

42. Yep.

Nothing else need be said.

[TwilightGardener]

3. I'm suffering from a type of neck injury...

known as SpecterLash. It comes from getting swiftly jerked around by his numerous Jekyll-and-Hyde position changes--often within hours.

[malaise]

5. But, but, but

Fox gave him a (D) yesterday.

[Yael]

15. LOL!!!

[Mythsaje]

6. As I've said before,

I'll never trust the drug warrior Specter. He's always been full of shit.

[tularetom]

7. Sphincter is a worthless POS

He must have had a come to jesus meeting with the chimp - I saw a picture of them together in Philly yesterday. Unfortunately I don't think Leahy is a hell of a lot better. I noticed also that his name was missiing from that letter and I heard him on countdown last night offering Gonzales a chance to review his testimony. WTF is up with that? He can lie under oath and then take it back? I don't have a lot of hope that there will be any consequences for these assbites with wusses like this in charge.

8. Specter...All Talk ...no Cattle....or "Spin...Spin...Spin..into the Wind!

He sounds good...talking the good talk for Constitution...but he REFUSES TO WALK THE WALK ..preferring instead to SOUND GOOD and Slink off when the GOING GETS TOUGH!

Typical Repug...They are Liars and Thieves and Criminals and Obfuscaters...harder to catch than a whild rabbit when you want to pin them down...or ask them to do the Correct Thing to Defend our Constitution.

Defending our Constitution for Repugs stopped with CLINTON. Since they blame every evil in the world on him...to cover their Sorry BUSH/REAGAN/NIXON ASSES OF CRIMINALITY!!!!

[KharmaTrain]

19. Now We Weren't Too Surprised Were We??

They sure have this puppy housebroken and we have him soooooo pegged. LOL. This whipped cracked so fast I may need a chiropractor :rofl:

At least they took him up on the offer of a Special Consul...Arlen's next act, stating in open committee how he never suggested this in the first place.

:hi:

[KoKo]

25. AYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

:hi:

[Canuckistanian]

9. Ah, good. Now I can set my watch.

After that little mandatory tete-a tete on AF1, I knew something like this would happen.

And right about when I expected it.

[rurallib]

10. Gee, what a surprise. Just like sunrise.

[Junkdrawer]

12. Arlen "Trust me with the investigation" Specter...

Sure, Arlen. Here's the file - do what you think you must.... :eyes:

[Yael]

13. Arlen never disappoints!

You can always tell where he stands. It is 180 degrees from what he says.

[Swamp Rat]

14. I bet Bushler threatened him today,

and his family. ;)

[IChing]

20. Bill Hicks had some comments on Specter.

27. Downloading now!

:bounce:

[IChing]

29. I tried that link I put down but it didn't work

did you get it to work right? I thought it linked to real player.
It was from his HBO special.

[OwnedByFerrets]

44. I dont believe that...........but.........

I do believe he handed the phone to Arlen and let Shooter remind him what would happen to him if he didnt say the right things.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Specter owes us one for giving Gonzo way too much liberties during the hearings.

No one will trust him if he objects to a prosecutor and Gonzo goes free. He'll be remembered as being as moley as Thompson was during the Nixon hearings.

[IChing]

22. His own "staff" put the illegal hiring of US attorneys in the Patriot Act

Never mind his magic bullet shit during JFK's Warren Commission.

One scary dude.

[Mojorabbit]

18. Is there an email

addy for the judicary committee?

[PA Democrat]

26. If you use the link

http://www.congress.org/congressorg/directory/committees.tt?commid=sjudi

It will give you links to the individual members and their contact info.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

21. I think he was traveling with bush today

Not that I expect that to have influenced his opinion any.

[PA Democrat]

23. I will call my Senator tomorrow and remind him that he works for

us and NOT for the president. I don't give a damn how strongly Bush feels. Specter better worry more about how strongly WE feel about defending the Constitution.

[IChing]

38. good luck and thanks for the effort

I wish you guys would get him out of office.

This guy has given me the creeps for decades.

[PA Democrat]

39. I call his office at least once a week.

He pisses me off so badly. I can't stand his flip flopping.

[jimshoes]

24. Arlen, Arlen, Arlen

I had my hopes up for your almost standing up for the rule of law. My bad.:thumbsdown:

[bemildred]

28. Successful extortion is never pretty to watch. nt

[Hubert Flottz]

30. I knew he'd do this shit when I heard that the Fuhrer had called him

in for a torture session.

[AndyA]

31. I'M SHOCKED! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!! ASTOUNDED!!!

Arlen was traveling with Bush today. No doubt Bush pulled out new data collected via illegal spying and threatened Arlen with it. (Those pics of him from 1979 in the black lace panties and fishnet stockings, again?*)

At any rate, this was sssooooo predictable.

The post above regarding not trusting anyone with an (R) after their name is very on target.

*Not an actual incident...or is it? :shrug:

[Faryn Balyncd]

32. Collins is up for re-election in 2008, but Snow not until 2012.

[Ino]

33. from Gonzales hearing Feb 6, 2006...

http://tinyurl.com/8qtmz

SPECTER: Let's not engage in protracted debate on this subject. We're not going to swear this witness (Gonzales), and we have the votes to stop it.

[Raksha]

34. Why am I not surprised? n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

35. Water Boy

That's all he's EVER been

[MagickMuffin]

37. What it's been the traditional 48 hours!!!....

That's usually how long it takes before Arlene gets sent to the Whoopin Shed.

I expected it.

[mark414]

40. back on the bus so they can throw him under it again?

wake up arlen...quit being such a fool

he's either getting one hell of a sweet deal from the white house, or he's just that dumb

[cureautismnow]

41. I wish Specter was Spector right now.

[Warren Stupidity]

43. These are the folks that some here think are going to join us.

They aren't. Not now. Not in September. Not this year or next.

[Lugnut]

45. I'm not surprised

This is typical behavior for my useless senator. Bah!

[BlooInBloo]

46. Doing the ol' Arlen Two-Step - masterful!

[opihimoimoi]

47. Check Bushies Ass for Spectors Lip Prints....I know, so many there its diff to see if........

[radfringe]

48. said that yesterday - that specter would squirm out of it

when I heard specter was with bush yesterday... big UH-OHHH went off

Specter is going backtrack .....again

spin it as a misrepresentation of his statements yesterday, suggest that he was only pointing out options, not endorsing them and feels a special prosecutor would waste taxpayer's money....have more important things to do than to waste time and money...blah...blah...and by the way did you know that al qaeda in iraq is called al qaeda in iraq because they are al qaeda...in iraq?

think I've just about covered the Squirm's statement?
