Missing in Action

I have been patient with the Democrats.

One wonders why they continue to fund the Iraq occupation when it is so evident that the country wants the troops out and home.

But I'm patiently waiting, listening, hearing all the excuses.

Now this.

My patience has reached its limit. The Democrats spear headed by Schumer and Feinstein are going to allow Mukasey in as the new Attorney General.

Apparently Mukasey knows what torture is, but he won't let anybody in on his little understanding.

Instead he goes off on word games about waterboarding, what waterboarding is, its this, its that, or maybe its none of the above. The right wing sycophants line right up there and start calling torture, a private CIA swimming lesson. Real cute, real smart. You just won ass of the year.

The idea here is to say maybe torture isn't good, but actually give a little wink and nod and imply that its fine with him. Just cover it up with the right words and make sure Bush doesn't feel the lightest of pressure for his own complicity with approving torture.

Chuck Schumer on the other hand gets the Oscar. He is the actor of the year. A few months ago he's worse than a raging granny. He's all over Gonzales. Gonzales is lying, he's incompetent, he's this and that.

Chuck was out there acting. He's real real tough on Bush and his Attorney General. He wanted you to make sure you saw his tough guy act.

Now he's rolling over and panting like a little Pomeranian. Chuck, you have lost all credibility.

But is it really just Chuck's fault. One has to think no. Its pretty simple. If the Democrats were going to reject Mukasey, they could come together and do so. But they are not. As a group they are rolling over. Disgraceful. Exactly what kind of information does somebody have on these guys to make them act like spineless fools.

I'm re-thinking my Democratic party registration. I'm not going down alone either. I'll take anybody within ear shot along with me.
