The word is that the brilliant minds in the Democrat Party are going to try to embarrass Alberto Gonzales, President Bush’s pick for Attorney General, with prisoner abuse photos and videos. Asking Gonzales about the prisoner abuse is well within the purview of the senate’s oversight responsibility.
There are three problems for Democrats though. First, they always overreach. Some pompous bonehead (sadly not a unique description when dealing with politicians, sort of like saying, “the guy in red” at Ohio Stadium during a home game) will start railing about the lack of air conditioning, cable TV, feather beds, long distance phone service and the choice of dinner wines at Guantanamo. Next, aside from Democrats interested in scoring political points against President Bush and Michael Moore who thinks Johnny Jihad is a modern day Minuteman, nobody gives a rat’s derrière how a terrorist is treated. As the matter of fact there is probably a very large segment of the population that is of the opinion that terrorists ought to be afforded all of the humanity that they afford to others.
Last, when Chucky Schumer starts showing pictures of naked Iraqi men, much to the delight of Barney Frank, some Republican with a backbone, (sadly a very unique description) ought to run a film of a partial birth abortion. When it’s over, ask Chucky how a party that is not offended by a practice that sucks out the brains of innocent, nearly born, fully viable babies, can be offended by pictures of naked men who, given the chance, would hack Schumer’s head off on video in time to be shown on the Al Jazeera six o’clock news. Hell, how could they be offended by anything?
