Last Man Standing

Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold, one of the last members of the US Senate with any measurable degree of integrity or strength of conviction, is calling for his colleagues to join him in censuring the Smirking POTUS over his domestic spying initiative.

Calling it like it is, Senator Feingold pulled no punches yesterday when he stated on ABC’s “This Week” that “the president has broken the law, and, in some way, he must be held accountable.”

The five-page censure resolution is set to be released today, and argues that President Bush did not have the legal authority to conduct wireless surveillance on American citizens without a warrant, something that the Smirking POTUS asserts was given to him implicitly in the sweeping omnibus bill known as the Patriot Act.

Senator Feingold, as you may recall, was the only member of the Senate not to vote for that disgraceful affront to the Constitution.

And continuing his record of never failing to make an ass of himself if given the chance, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, reacting to his colleague’s announcement, pulled out the GOP’s one hit wonder about not criticizing the president during a time of war and played it for all who would listen.

“The signal that [censure] sends, that there is in any way a lack of support for our commander in chief who is leading us with a bold vision in a way that is making our homeland safer, is wrong.” – Bill Frist

But this Leftwing Nutjob believes that he American people have long since seen through that acrid smokescreen and will be giving the Republican Party a wake-up call come this November, after which we will see what kind of signal the Impeachment of President Bush by Democratically-controlled House will send to the world.

Early Vegas odds have our standing in the world community increasing by ten-fold.
