Disliked President Wins Big?

In the latest stealth move by Congressional Democrats, a secret provision was inserted in the modified Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) cleared by the House and Senate this weekend just before the summer recess. Conceived by the House Blue Dog Democrats and their Senate collaborators, the plan resulted in an intelligence bill that authorizes wire tapping the phone and email of President Bush and key advisors.

The White House had no comment but the hand writing is on the wall.

President Bush has been in a tizzy the past week pressuring Democrats to modify the FISA legislation. He wanted and got expanded powers to tap phone, email, and other electronic transmissions for anyone thought to be involved with Al Qaeda. Bush had added incentive since this bill clears him of a variety of illegal acts. The New York Times covered comments by Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), Chairman of the House Intelligence committee that “the law could be construed as allowing any search inside the United States as long as the government claimed it concerned Al Qaeda.”

That’s pretty broad language, particularly when you consider that the Department of Justice will be deciding who goes on the list. But it also opens the door to electronic surveillance of George the decider Bush.

Ambush on Capitol Hill

And that’s the magic legislative language that opens the door to intense electronic surveillance of the president and his crew. For decades, the Bush family has had cordial business contact with wealthy Saudi Arabians including the prominent bin Laden family of hard to capture terrorist Osama bin Laden. The supporters are described in this U.S. Senate document showing Saudi Arabian support to Al Qaeda, even in Iraq. Bush family ties to Saudi Arabia are extensive. It is rumored but not confirmed that one of the bin Laden’s bailed the president out of his first of many business failures.

So there you have it. The bill passed leads directly to an authorization for the electronic surveillance of the president due to contacts that concerned Al Qaeda.

Blue Dogs and Senate Collaborators Win Big

Sparky, the Blue Dog Creative Commons

We spoke to a key Blue Dog Democrat known only as Sparky and asked him to justify his vote in light of Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s statement that the bill “does violence to the Constitution of the United States.” Sparky would have none of it: “We’re tired of the damn progressives and liberals acting like we don’t care about the Constitution. We’re people too, you know. We just do things differently.” Asked to elaborate, Sparky said “We can’t take Bush anymore, with his $500 billion deficits. This is the quickest way to get him – tap his damn emails. He can say he lost them but we’ll have backup, count on it.”

Their Senate collaborators couldn’t be reached. They were either on the campaign trail or at a special two week seminar in Davos, Switzerland hosted by Russian oil interests. The opening speaker is former Solicitor General of the U.S. Robert Bork. He will address the topic, The Bill of Rights, Antiquated or Over Rated?

4. A Hoot!

I love the touch of the Blue Dogs being the ones to put the plan in motion. God if only...And why not, didn't the WH/Justice have one of Specter's people slip something in a law that nobody knew was there, the whole Tim Griffin business?

[autorank]

7. Arlen's on the team, oh yeah;)

That's a great interpretation...takes me to another level of analysis. Maybe that's why Lieberman and other key party folks abandoned the fight for Florida in 2000. The stolen election opened an entirely new path of vital leaning opportunities.

A Good one, thanks for the laughs!

:applause:

[autorank]

19. My pleasure....

I'm thinking of doing an article on a new educational paradigm, one that includes no longer
teaching the Constitution and its history to youth since it will inevitably cause them too
much pain as they become more informed. Need a name for the the educational theory ...
something to do with efficient education, don't bother with meaning less details...:)

:hi:

[Me.]

24. Taking A Constitutional?

And you could take them for a walk.

[autorank]

25. OMG Thank you! "Congress is taking a constitutional on the

Constitution. See, it's all about the "hidden code." They're talking to us.

Me, thank you so much.

Now we need to figure a way to send messages back to them like this

[FogerRox]

20. Great presentation, just when I needed a little laff

sorry to jack your thread. great satire. stop in, say hi.

[bleever]

28. Fiendishly clever of them!

And I wonder if Roberts and Alito will argue the two sides presented in Bork's talk.

:thumbsup:

[autorank]

35. Alito and Roberts are actually caddying for Bork...

...which is not easy, apparently the guy has a huge anger problem;)

:hi:

[Independent_Liberal]

29. Hmmm...

You appear to be onto something Auto. Check your PM.

[annabanana]

30. kickin' in the am. . . . . . . n/t

[Perry Logan]

31. Imagine if some of this creative energy went into attacking Republicans instead of Democrats.

Or would that be too partisan?

[autorank]

34. Take a look..I wrote all of these, they all attack Republican programs

Every one of them or they attack Republican election fraud that is targeted at the Democratic Party OR other forms of Republican malfeasance. However, just because I'm a life long Democrat does not mean that I drank the cool aid and swore unfailing obedience to every single member of the party, no matter how negative their behavior might be. I value the Constitution of the United States much higher, for example, than any party loyalty.

I thought I'd take a holiday, so to speak, and ridicule those who call themselves Democrats but vote for tyrannical programs put forward by a president at 25% approval rating. There was no excuse for this and they deserve a lot more than I gave in this little satire. I suspect that their constituents will let them know - supporting the tear down of the constitution, supporting Iraq, supporting Bush tax cuts, etc. BE A DAMN DEMOCRAT AND BE PROUD OF IT, is what I say to them, and I've said to my Senator on the disgraceful list of "sweet 16" in the Senate.

32. satire my white Houyhnhnm

damn, here i thought you'd uncovered a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, the darkness before it got dawn, the modicum of fortune that befalls an icy sphere in hades, the true meaning of life. then you tagged that "satire" to it and suddenly all became clear. good one.

recommended.

33. I did discover the "meaning of life" but I'm loathe to reveal it...

has something to do with those stick on figures people put on the inside of their car windows. Very controversial...
