Bushbaby Claims Congress Is Caving to "Left Wing Bloggers" by Opposing Torture

[Ichingcarpenter]

After the Senate banned waterboarding yesterday, White House Press Secretary Dana Perino claimed the "left wing" was trying to overtake the intelligence community:

They'll have to ask themselves, 'Do you trust the intelligence community more than you trust Democrats who are beholden to their left-wing?' And that's the debate that this country is going to have.

Perino also attacked Congress for holding a contempt of Congress vote on White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House counsel Harriet Miers instead of expanding Bush's surveillance powers:

The American people will find it baffling that on a day that House leaders are trying to put off passing critical legislation to keep us safer from the threat of foreign terrorists overseas, they are spending scarce time to become the first congress in history to bring contempt charges against a president's chief of staff and lawyer. ... The 'people's House' should reflect the priorities of the American people, not the fantasies of left-wing bloggers.

that the internet provides which they don't have real control over...

[Robbien]

10. to spokesmodel Perino:

Since you obviously don't have a clue about what the "interests" of the American people are, let me fill you in: It's about our civil liberties, about our freedom, about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, all of which your neocon puppet masters despise.

Dana, you are SO going to wind up in porno.

.....Republicans blasted Democrats for scheduling action on the contempt measures instead of moving to extend the eavesdropping law.

“We have space on the calendar today for a politically charged fishing expedition but no space for a bill that would protect the American people from terrorists who want to kill us,” said Rep. John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, the minority leader.

“Let's just get up and leave,” he told his colleagues, before storming out of the House chamber with scores of Republicans in tow.

“If the House had nothing better to do, this futile partisan act would be a waste of time,” said Dana Perino, the White House spokeswoman. “The 'people's House' should reflect the priorities of the American people, not the fantasies of left-wing bloggers.”

15. The DINOs evidently fear an impeachment of the far right would debilitate

their own positions on the right, threatening to "unduly" empower the progressives and the people.

[Disturbed]

17. A Fascist Spokes Model spouts BS.

Yeah, anti-Torture & anti-Illegal Spying folk are un-american.

21. She'll have a fit with her leg up if she reads the opinion of the UN

special rapporteur on torture. Apparently he described Guantanamo as an 'icon of lawlessness'... Love that! An icon of lawlessness. Everyone over hear fears it will be a show trial. The question is being raised, 'with so much alleged evidence, why are they being brought before a military commission, lacking the elements of a fair trial?'
