George Will is a conservative of some measure that I might not always agree with yet can usually listen to due to his rather reasonable reasoning and nearly always brilliant brain. In today’s WaPo Mr. Will takes on Bu$hCo’s arrogance and inconsistency and unconstitutionality and obduracy (The Captain learned a new word today! Obduracy means being hardened into the level of intractability. Surprised Webster’s didn’t have a picture of W right there by the def?) over the NSA/FISA issue. Bob Barr, hardly my favorite “thinker” from the right, has demonstrated legit conservative credentials and he’s be screaming bloody murder over King George trying an end run around the Constitution.
The Architect, Metrosexual Mehlman, Dead Eye Dick, and the balance of Bu$hCo however have apparently decided to try a little jujitsu on the NSA/FISA issue and are gradually picking off or co-opting those in the GOP that have dared question Our Leader’s commitment to that “just a goddamned piece of paper”. Glenn Greenwald and Peter Daou have given the Progressive community a great focus on how reason and facts are being replaced with labeling and the like from especially the right-wing fringe. Truly I must work very hard to find a real “conservative” that can defend Bu$hCo from what seems like an honest intellectual standpoint. Lately the right leaning people I know simply can’t so they avoid or attack. Wonder where they learned that one? Libertarian slanted folks are bailing out on him more and more and yet the Mighty Wurlitzer stands ready already to take out Hagel types. Old Arlen is now in a lobbyist mess of his own, one involving his own appropriations aide and her defense industry lobbyist husband, so he’ll either put down the Kool Aid in order to try the moderate reformer approach or belly up to bar in the hope the true believers will save his hide. He got Stripsearch Sammy and John Roberts through the Senate so he's got some chits to burn.
I’ve renewed my lapsed membership in the ACLU and intend to rant and rave about my civil liberties every chance I get. Bu$hCo and his next reincarnation, probably Virginia’s George Allen (Lovely wife and kids at least so the Librarian and her Bu$h twins can exit stage left!) from a very early guess, might very well have Diebold and The Supremes covering them yet Congress can at least slow down this cabal long enough to give The Constitution a chance. The Big Mules have installed Our Leader and they'll have a hard time turning away from the trough. George Version 2.0? Peace … or War!
