Senator Threatens Bill Maher When Government Keeps Screwing Soldiers

Cookie Jill posts this at Skippy (International):

a congressman says comedian bill maher's comment that the us military has already recruited all the "low-lying fruit" is possibly treasonous and at least grounds to cancel the show.

..."i think it borders on treason," bachus said. "in treason, one definition is to undermine the effort or national security of our country." - ustoady

well...senator. if you want to draw up a mccarthy-like list of "treasoners", based on your definition, you might want to start off with:

the people who leaked a cia covert operative's name to the press
the people who printed that name
the people who said that invading iraq would be a cake walk.
the people who said saddam was behind 9/11
the people who gave a male prostitute access to the white house press corps
the people who won't fund port security
the people who won't print the actual news and not just press releases
the people who cut soldiers pay
the people who overcharge our government for work in iraq/afghanistan
the people who charge our government for work never done in iraq/afghanistan
the people who are knowingly hiring illegal workers
the people who have offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes

The Senator should be more worried about whether he's doing enough to make George Bush and Bill Frist happy since, of course, they and Jimmy Dobson are the only ones in the world who matter.
