So, St. John McCain had his big “man of the people” moment yesterday, chastising President Obama because Bush ordered a new fleet of helicopters. Attaboy, John, you’re still relevant. Really.
As for Obama and the Bush legacy, I’m more disturbed by Obama’s DOJ siding with the Bush administration in seeking to dismiss the lawsuit brought by CREW and the National Security Archive. The groups are seeking access to Bush White House emails from time periods such as the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, and the investigation into the Valerie Plame leak. Sure seems like once these people become President, they back each other on everything (at least, on everything that may limit their own Presidential powers). Oh well, what the hell, nothing to see here anyway. Move along.
Speaking of things that are nobody’s business, Karl Rove once again ignored a subpoena, failing to appear before the House Judiciary Committee. I think John Conyers may need to issue a stern press release (and a fundraising e-mail) over this. Not to worry, though. There’s a March 4 deadline on the Obama administration to rule on the Bush executive privilege claims for Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten, which would have implications on Rove’s case, should it go to court. Any bets on whether Obama will back Bush on this one, too?
Still, Obama seems to have the confidence (and patience) of the people (at least in terms of fixing the ecoomy), who see the Republicans for the obstructionist assholes they are (not that you’d know it from the attention and credibility the traditional media seems to afford them). I really wish Obama would forget about playing nice with these douchebags, and just ram through a progressive agenda while he still has high popularity numbers (give it to ’em hard, Barack, like Congress is Larry Craig and you’re a frequent flier).
Hey, Lent starts tomorrow, so you better go out there and get it out of your systems today. Just try and stay out of jail.
Oh yeah, and show us your :boobs:
