Leahey deserves to be permanently inducted into the pink tutu hall of shame.
I mean how hard is it to stand up to a president who is less popular than the clap
and when your party controls both houses of Congress?
from todays WaPo:
[The White House has] stalled or ignored Leahy’s requests as his
committee looks into the wiretapping program and the travails of
Gonzales. They have calculated — accurately so far — that the
Dynamic Duo of Leahy and Schumer would deliver harsh words but no
punishment of consequence.
“The time is up. The time is up,” Leahy whined. “We’ve waited long enough.”
But what would Leahy do about it? The first questioner riddled
Batman with this.
“The full Judiciary Committee will have to sit down and determine whether to seek contempt from the full Senate,” said the noncommittal action hero.
Does that mean he would seek a contempt-of-Congress citation?
“What I want to do is get the response to these things,” Leahy demurred.
Rebecca Carr of Cox News tried again to pin him down, but Leahy
continued to escape. “What we have to find out is what happened here,” he answered.
How about withholding money from the administration?
“Let’s take it step by step,” he proposed.
Holy incrementalism, Batman!
Bart says: Leahy want so take things step by step?
What step comes after “Go fuck yourself?”
Leahy needs a few shots of Jack Daniels and a shot of testosterone,
but he’s too busy with his damn Batman movie to come to f-ing work.
