My own representative, McDermott, actually spoke out against the war quite loudly, but he was branded a lunatic and a traitor. Sure, he's loony, but he ain't no traitor. You are right, Tippet, most of the others are content to fight over the budget and shore up their reelection chances. I've only heard Kennedy and a couple others use strong language lately (plus Gore), but the press quickly moves on to sound bites of the naked king proclaiming "my economic policies are working, puttin' 'Merican's back to work, puttin' food on the table..." blah blah. People will feel safer, because he tells them they are, until the fatal flaw breeches the surface in the form of some crisis and the news media falls all over themselves once again wondering how they could be so blind.
When is shrub going to jail for permitting the cover of that CIA operation (Plame) to be blown, I wonder... I'm assuming he Okayed it, and I know from the documents I've signed myself that it would be a felony punishable by some pretty severe penalties to disclose a top secret piece of information. Not to mention that whoever released that information, in my book, a treasonous person. |
