The New Road

The big audio moment

With Clinton the right wingers had that "I did not sleep with that woman, Monica Lewinsky." Here is the same type of moment for Bush:

"...there are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."

This was from a campaign speech in April, 2004. Years after he started the illegal wiretapping program.

Wow, there are so many things in here. Unwarranted wiretaps are wrong. We can fight the terrorists without bending the Constitution. The wiretap issue is linked to the Patriot Act. Wow. It just goes on and on.

The big difference between this moment and the one with Clinton. This one actually matters and threatens our national security.

Bush must be impeached.

Personal aside: It's actually getting tough to keep up with the cronyism and corruption in the Bush White House. I watched the Jib Jab year in review Flash movie a couple of days ago. They listed issue after issue, and even it is out of date given the most recent revelations. I mean, seriously, think about it, we almost lost New Orleans this year, a whole American city, and that only makes it onto the top ten.
