GOP congressman: Bush misadministration guilty of criminal activity

Dana Rohrabacher, on the floor of the House, has accused Bush/Cheney of criminality, obstruction of justice, and lying to Congress.

"The disdain and uncooperative nature that this administration has shown toward Congress, including Republican Members, is so egregious that I can no longer assume that it is simply bureaucratic incompetence or isolated mistakes. Rather, I have come to the sad conclusion that this administration has intentionally obstructed Congress' rightful and constitutional duties...

"[T]his administration for the past 7 years has undercut congressional investigators, has lied to Members of Congress, and has forged ahead with secret deals in spite of efforts and pleas by Congress to be informed, if not involved.

"This administration ends up lying in a briefing to Congress and shrugs it off. To this day, absolutely nothing has been done about this crime. And yes, lying to Congress, especially about an issue of this magnitude, is a crime."
Holy crap. More here and here.

Meanwhile, the best political news team on television is discussing... Crisis in the Democratic Party: Hillary vs Obama!!1!

It'd be nice if the Dems actually DID something -- rather than just wringing their hands -- about the Repuke crap once in awhile! Why not reduce budgets, or tie-up bills or W's questionable nominations? The Repukes always found ways to do that shit even when they were the minority party in the 1990's. It's been at least 3 or 4 yrs since W's policies became VERY unpopular with the US Sheeple, so the Dems can't fall back on that old excuse that 'we can't get ahead of the electorate'

The Democrats are silent because they are scared sh*tless. The Bushco/RNC gang is a mafia, and it operates like one. Think about it: is Eliot Spitzer the only Democrat they've gathered some incriminating info. on, or just the first one to be hit?

Rohrabacher should probably pray that he won't be next. (Not that a towering intellect like him would be a great loss... :-)) Welcome to the wonderful world of NSA's illegal wiretapping. It has as much to do with fighting terrorism as the Iraq invasion had to do with fighting al Qaeda.

It must be so cool to have a spineless congress and senate.
