CNN: we're just like Fox News!
The most trusted name in news blindly follows the gpuke party line. Disgraceful.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN WHORE: Let's talk about Osama bin Laden. We now have a new audiotape from the al Qaeda leader. He makes some specific, direct threats against the United States, says they're planning another attack right here in the United States. To a lot of Americans, this will justify the extraordinary measures the president has authorized, including those warrantless wiretaps. Do they?
HOWARD DEAN, DNC CHAIRMAN: {sotto voce} Jesus Christ... No. The warrantless wiretaps are totally unnecessary. In fact, you can go listen in on any conversation you want. If you think it's an emergency, you can get a warrant after the fact. The president just broke the law for reasons that are not clear to me, because this doesn't have anything to do with national security. "A lot of Americans"? Which #ucking poll is that? Right. You fucking brainless twit. You call yourself a reporter? You pathetic weasel.
BLITZER: If -- if you believe that, what's the remedy? What should be the punishment be? And I -- I refer specifically to impeachment. Would you believe -- do you believe impeachment is justified?
DEAN: Duh. Well, actually, interestingly enough, regardless of what I believe, 52 percent of Americans apparently believe that, if the president broke the law, that should be the remedy. I think the president, at minimum, should come clean with the American people. There was no reason for doing what he did. He keeps claiming this is a security initiative. It's not. You could tap the phone of any American today if you believed it was an emergency and it had something to do with terrorism, and then go and get the warrant after the fact. The president deliberately broke the law. Fuckwit.
BLITZER: Please don't kill me

Later....
BLITZER: We are almost out of time. But I have to ask you this question, since it's exactly two years since your famous scream, which you remember very, very well. You often think about that?
DEAN: I actually don't often think about it, you stupid fuck. You know as well as I do that that was mostly the cable stations that did it.
BLITZER: Well, wait a minute. You say the cable nation -- the cable stations did it. We didn't scream. We just replayed it a lot of times.
DEAN: For the love of... Yes. But the truth is, none of the reporters thought it was very unusual. They had seen that speech before. And the version on cable stations, as you well know, and as ABC News and Diane Sawyer reported later, was that, in fact, you cut out all the crowd noise, that you could only hear me on the stuff. And it was -- you had a lot of fun with it. But that's done with. And now we have got to move on and make sure that this country goes back to the Democratic Party, where it belongs..

Good one, Wolf, you cocksucking whore.
C'mon, Dems... fight! Fight!
ED HENRY, CNN WH APOLOGIST: Congressional Republicans believe bin Laden's latest broadside should be a wake-up call that al Qaeda is still dangerous and the NSA program will help keep America safe. But Democrats are not about to back down.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
HENRY (voice-over): At a mock hearing on Capitol Hill, Democrats stepped up their attacks on the president's domestic spying program.
REP. ROBERT WEXLER (D), FLORIDA: The administration has groundlessly circumvented judicial review and taken America down a frightening path, which
preys on a culture of fear while casually disregarding existing civil liberties.
HENRY: But the new Osama bin Laden audiotape has given Republicans a political opening to make the case for the surveillance program and other anti-terror tools. Republican Senator Jon Kyl said, "We cannot bind our hands in this fight. If we do, and terrorists launch more takes against us, opponents of security tools such as the Patriot Act and NSA surveillance will have to answer for their opposition." A point Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman tried to hammer home Friday.

Jebus. Repeat after me: it's not the NSA program, it's the fucking warrantless spying, you fucking asshole.
KEN MEHLMAN: Do Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean really think that when the NSA is listening in on terrorists planning attacks on America, they need to hang up when those terrorists dial their sleeper cells inside the United States?
HENRY: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who will give a Tuesday speech on domestic spying, this week issued a new 42-page legal justification of the program to congressional leaders.
REP. CHRIS VAN HOLLEN (D), MARYLAND: Making their argument longer did not make it any better, and I have to say that any first-year law student would, after reading this, quickly conclude that the arguments were specious.
