Will anything actually happen?

Senators Kennedy and Leahy have made it clear they wish to have an investigation into the Bush/Cheney use of warrantless spying, which they believe is illegal and unconstitional. Even McCain, who has been photographed actually hugging our nitwit President, thinks the spying is probably illegal. So do Graham, Barr, Spector, and probably others. Do you believe anything will come of this? It probably is illegal and unconstitutional but they will no doubt fall back on their "we thought it was" argument. Like, we thought they had WMD's, we thought they were a threat, etc.,etc. Fact is, of course, they didn't think that. They knew perfectly well there were no WMD's, just as they know perfectly well they had no legal right to warrantless wiretapping. Does it surprise anyone to learn they lie? Constantly. Indeed, always. Will they get away with it again. Probably, if the Democrats have anything to do with it. Democrats who lack the backbone to even filibuster Alito who carries with him the ability to convert our democracy into a dictatorship.

Molly Ivins, bless her, wrote a piece in which she said she would not support Hillary Clinton. I gather this raised some eyebrows. I don't know why. How could anyone support Hillary at this point? Hillary wants more troops in Iraq. She wants to attack Iran. She wants to protect Israel. She wants permanent bases in Iraq. And the straw that breaks the camel's back, she has joined the completely moronic don't burn the flag bunch. Hillary is like the High School girl standing around the jocks trying to prove she is just as macho as they are. Pathetic. She has already blown any chance of getting the nomination. But let people like Laura continue to fantasize about a Condi Rice, Hillary contest. Why not, it wouldn't be much more ridiculous than running George W. Bush for President, the most unprepared, unqualified, ill-informed, mindless, and uninterested candidate in history. Just let Dick the Slimy do it, I'm cutting brush on my pig farm pretend ranch.

Now we have another beautiful example of American hypocrisy. The Pentagon, or the Department of Defense, or whomever, are upset that Venezuela wants to spend a hundred million dollars or so buying planes from Spain and also a bit of money to buy some rifles. This complaint/objection comes from a nation that is currently spending 442 billion dollars on defense!!!! It is truly hard to believe these people are real. The phrase "get a life" comes to mind. If you are not already aware of it, the inmates are now in charge of the asylum. Sleep tight.
