I’m shocked, SHOCKED that the FBI is abusing the power given to them in the Patriot Act. Wait, you mean we can’t just punt our civil liberties and hope that the government will play nice?
Expect the left to go apeshit over Newt Gingrich having an affair during the Clinton scandal. Of course, Newt didn’t grope women in hallways, expose himself to an employee and lie under oath. But don’t expect that subtlety to show up on Daily Kos or Huffpo. It will also be forgotten how the Clinton “we need to end the politics of personal destruction” personal destruction machine was after Gingrich from day one, circulating an exaggerated story of him serving his first wife divorce papers on her hospital bed.
You know, when Bill Clinton slimed his opponent, that was bare-knuckle politics. When the Attorney General does it, it’s something else. I’m glad Bush has backed off and hopefully it will turn out that these are disgruntled ex-employees mouthing off. But I doubt it.
