WTF Is It Now?!?

Bein' a dictator would be a heckuva lot easier...*
Top White House and Justice Department officials should be called to testify before a Senate committee investigating the misadministration's domestic eavesdropping program, Sen. Chuck Schumer said on Sunday.

"To simply divert this whole thing to just looking at the leaker and saying everything else is just fine is typical of the corrupt assclowns this administration," he added.

Schumer's comments followed a report in Sunday's New York Times that James Comey, a deputy to then-Attorney General Jesus John Ashcroft, was concerned about the legality of the National Security Agency's surveillance program and refused to extend it in 2004. White House aides then turned to Ashcroft while he was laying doped up in his hospital bed for gallbladder surgery.

The Times said accounts of the hospital meeting differed, but that some officials said Ashcroft also appeared reluctant to give his authorization to continue with aspects of the program. It was unclear if the White House persuaded Ashcroft to approve the program by threatening to pull the plug or proceeded without it.
