Chuck Schumer: Senators were too quick to accept the nominees’ word that they would respect legal precedents, and “too easily impressed with the charm of Roberts and the erudition of Alito,” Schumer said.
“There is no doubt that we were hoodwinked,” said Schumer, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and heads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Nancy Pelosi: “The assumption I made was that the Republicans would soon see the light,” she said.

“That was a revelation to me, because I felt the American peoples’ voices were so strong and still are in this regard that I hoped that with some compromise and reaching out there might be some change in direction,” Pelosi said. “But they are sticking with the president on this.”
Yes Virginia, there are bad people in the world! And they are currently (badly) running our nation. And you, our wonderful, good hearted ….but apparently completely clueless Congressional Democrats, are once again staring into the headlights dumbstruck as the Bushco Bus runs you over again.
Lies, obfuscations, technical parsing, perjury, lying to Congress, destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, more lies….and just plain looking you in the face and saying “So what? You gonna do something about it?” And of course, when one of them is convicted (Hi Scooter!)…..pardons.
Are you realy that…well….slow?
What is it going to take for you to catch on? What will it take to make you realize that you were not just hoodwinked on Roberts and Alito, but have been hoodwinked for the last seven years on just about every frikkin matter of importance that has come down the Bush Superhighway of deception?
You have been played….continuously. While for most of that time the blogs and even Traditional Media outlets have been feeding you the clues (er, facts) as to the nature of the folks you are dealing with. As I type again and again, this is NOT business as usual, these are not people you give the benefit of the doubt to, these are not people worthy of collegial respect.
These are criminals and their accomplices, bent on prosecuting an agenda that is against the best interests, and against the laws of The United States of America. And speaking of prosecuting….DO SOME!
Is the fact that they will not even deign to honor your subpoenas not enough of a clue? Is the fact that Abu Gonzales sits in front of you and lies …Hell even Arlen Specter said so!…straight to your face not enough of a wake up call?
I don’t CARE what your electoral strategy is for ’08! You may find this hard to believe, but there are more important things than whether you keep your jobs!

Ok, let me calm down for a second here. Listen, my very good Congressional friends…the bi-partisan thing didn’t work right? You tried your best to do this the nice way, the ‘responsible’ way. Everyone working together in harmony to end the war and pass important legislation for the American People. Bupkis, right?
Ok, so NOW WHAT?
You have to swallow hard and admit you have been played and snookered and hoodwinked and….as Nancy famously said on Daily Kos, in what has turned out to be one of the biggest jokes/lies ever….take the gloves off!!
YOUR way has failed…..now try the way that a significant percentage of the American People want. (We don’t even have to call it impeachment, if that will help you save face.)
Investigate, investigate, investigate!
Demand that the infamous Bush DOJ appoint a Special Prosecutor (taking it out of your delicate hands) and give them the authority to follow the trail that starts with the Torture Tape wherever it may lead.
It’s called Hardball, it’s called Justice, it’s called Restoring The Rule of Law.
We tried it your way, and frankly, you look like clueless asses. Now try t our way, go after them, and go after them HARD. You need a new strategy now…try one that will actually WORK for a change.

with the knowing eyes and the very big teeth. Was he too laid back to express your frustrations?
I keep telling you alien people ate the brains of the Dems but oh no, nobody wants to believe me.
Where are people like Frank Church when you need them?
I think they’re all felons who can’t do anything to really rock the boat now. Even if they wanted to. I really must go fish my optimism out of the toilet sometime today.
democracy’s womb 😉 …on an 8th grade field trip. walk the streets that jefferson and adams and washington and franklin walked….and im sooooo ashamed that its become this bad…
and lamer. Perhaps I should quit asking how stupid do they think we are and realize that their stupid, politically stupid. Even if they are in league with these devils the Kabuki has become low comedy at this point, they have hit the bottom. They would all need to be suffering from daily attacks of amnesia to believe that the Bushies would roll over. Gimme a break, it’s not just traitorous governance it’s political suicide. Self interest in survival does not even move them from this path.
What Pelosi said, that is… This bullshit:
I can only conclude that either 1) She’s an idiot or 2) She’s just selling us down the river
There has never been one single time that Dubya and/or the ‘Pugs have ever wavered on anything or that theyd give a rat’s ass about the “people’s voices”.
I’m sorry but she can’t be that fucking stupid and get as far as she has.
That leaves option number two.
just announced the final budget had been reached and who is getting what in Upstate NY as if it is their money they are doling out.
Pathetic guys.
Pathetic.
