WTF Is It Now?!?

Congressional leaders challenge FBI raid
In a stunning display caused by either the sudden onset of testosterone or by the introduction of illegal substances, House and Senate leaders of both parties called bullshit on the Bushevik raid of Louisiana Democratic Rep William Jefferson's office, saying it 'broke a 219-year precedent and raised concerns about the separation of power between the administration and Congress.' About fucking time.

"The actions of the Justice Department in seeking and executing this warrant raise important constitutional issues,'' House Speaker Dennis Hastert said in a statement last night. "I expect to seek a means to restore the delicate balance of power among the branches of government that the founders intended.''

The speaker said it "would appear'' that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was aware the Justice Department had entered "constitutionally suspect grounds'' in conducting the raid.

Beaming down from Planet Fuckwit, Senate Majority Leader/douchebag Bill Frist also made a statement, telling the press that he had asked legal counsel for advice on the raid's "constitutional implications" while proudly showing reporters his shiny new temporary neuticles.
