WTF Is It Now?!?

Tracking of calls sparks furor
A political firestorm erupts as the 'stunning scope' of the spying becomes clear.

In a hastily arranged nationwide televised address aimed at defusing the political bombshell, President Bush tersely insisted the government wasn't "trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans" but only hunting al-Qaeda terrorists.

Uh-huh. Among tens of millions of innocent Americans.

"It is our government, it's not one party's government," said a visibly angry Senator Patrick Leahy. "Those entrusted with great power have a duty to answer to Americans for what they are doing."

Let's hope the Dems stay 'visibly angry' instead of doing a little pooh-poohing then rolling back over into their usual position. 'The Democrats should be jumping on this with sustained and unrelenting outrage and ads across America. If the Democrats don't start seizing the day and protecting democracy, their own party may stay home during the mid-terms out of disgust,' BuzzFlash said this morning. Dude.
