Let the hearings begin

Well, it’s a new year and the clueless Dems are running full speed at a brick wall with several long sharp objects protruding from it at eye level. Howie Dean, the merry band of buffoons running the DNC, and what passes for Dem leadership are all in a snit because George W. had the audacity to listen in on known al Qaeda international terrorists, even when they were talking to people located in America. The nerve! I for one would be more interested in international al Qaeda calls to within America than say, Saudi Arabia where the terrorists are probably calling to wish the principal at their old Madras a blessed Eid al Fitter.

Dems, never missing an opportunity to stick their collective foots in their mouths, are calling for congressional hearings. Aside from further splitting their all ready fractured party, what do they possibly hope to gain? What is any Dem who wants to be president going to say? “While we know that these are powers are fully within the bounds of our constitution, they should be reserved for when I am president.” Or, “Tracking down and killing terrorists who would destroy America does not rise to level of importance of either torture or international eavesdropping of terrorists making calls to within the US.” The moonbat wing nut fringe of the Dem party, aka “the base”, will see this as the final nail in George W’s coffin, and call the idea of collecting intelligence on terrorists unconstitutional.

Ted Kennedy et al will try to convince Americans that NSA eavesdropping on terrorists is a bigger crime than 19 Islamo-terror-fascist wakos flying airplanes into our treasured national monuments. Democrat presidential candidates will be “concerned”. George W will stick to his guns and by mid February Dems will again be wondering how they got their tails kicked by someone as dumb as George Bush.

The Griffn, as always, puts this issue into terms that we can all understand, “Big brother has an obligation to properly use or disregard sensitive information. Funny thing is I will send my tax money to the government, drive the highways the gov't builds at 80 mph, allow the gov't to control thousands of WMD' s, and approve drugs that I give to my children, but get spastic because they may have heard me call home to see what kind of pizza my girls want?” The Griffin sends.
