Impotent Arlen Specter Strikes Again in NSA Eavesdropping Review

Arlen Specter has become so timid, which is a shame. He used to at least sometimes stand for something. Now he blows hot wind and, at the slightest backdraft, he cowers.

Such is the case with the NSA eavesdropping case. The American people have a RIGHT.. an obligation really... to demand a complete review of this matter, to demand that the system of checks and balances provided to us is in place.

What do we get from Arlen, who should have some balls as head of the Senate Judiciary Committee? Ha! Bush grudgingly agrees to a one-time, highly conditional, largely impotent review of the NSA spying matter, and Arlen acts like the job's done and the American people can shut up their complaints now.

The only thing this impotent review is going to prove is how wide Arlen Specter is willing to spread his asscheeks when the president or his henchmen tell Arlen to bend over. As it happens, Arlen can spread 'em pretty damned wide.

Go home, Arlen. Maybe you can spend some significant quality time with Rick Santorum when he loses his seat in November. Oh wait.. that can't happen because Santorum doesn't even frickin' pretend to live in Pennsylvania. Snort! Well, without Pricky Ricky to play with, Arlen can perfect his latest incarnation of the "magic bullet theory" he gave us for the JFK assassination: in Arlen's case now, it's the magic rimjob theory; the Bushies are certainly practicing enough on the senator from Scotland.
