In a speech yesterday, Al Gore blasted President Bush for eavesdropping on foreign terrorist. Only he didn’t put it that way, of course. Big Al wanted the negative spin so he said, “Americans awoke to the shocking news that in spite of this long settled law, the Executive Branch has been secretly spying on large numbers of Americans for the last four years and eavesdropping on ‘large volumes of telephone calls, e-mail messages, and other Internet traffic inside the United States.’”
Hey Al, first off, it’d only been shocking if we weren’t listening in. And the only "long settled law" is the law of self defence. Next, “secretly spying”? What other kind is there? Last, if you and other DemoRATS are worried about being caught, get caller ID. If your buddies from Al Qaeda call, just let the machine get it.
The president is not eavesdropping on Americans. He’s eavesdropping on Al Qaeda. If Al Qaeda calls a contact in America, or vice versa, most of us would want our government to know about that. You know like, “Mustafa? Hamad here. How ya doing you ol’ bug-eyed, toothless, trailer dwelling, camel herder? Listen Moosty, that thing about a Beslan type attack on the Whinne the Phoo daycare center is a go dude. Yeah, the big guy approved it last week at the Golden Globes. Hey tomorrow. The sooner the better. No, don’t worry about that. Nobody listens in on the phone lines in America. Our friends the Democrats took care of that. Just get ready for tomorrow. I can’t wait for Al Gore to skewer Bush for not connecting the dots on this one.”
And yet they think they are fit to lead.
