FISA and burn

After watching the disappointments of the last few weeks surrounding this FISA bill, Keith Olbermann does the best job outlining my thought process -- at least the Bush is a fascist who uses terrorism on his own country part. This new special comment is more proof that Olbermann is in fact a baller, because this is about the 4th or 5th time he has called Bush a fascist. I like the Ted Kennedy quote: "So if we take the President at his word, he's willing to let Americans die to protect the phone companies."

It's strange that we've come so far under this reigme of fear, that a threat coming from our president of an attack so big, it will "bring destruction to our shores that will make September 11 pale by comparison", immediately sets off everybody's bullshit detectors. I have such seething hatred for the people that have driven our country to this position. I feel like it is going to take our lifetime to reverse everything they've done up to this point. Not to mention my new found disdain for Senate Democrats who have repeatedly proven to be as full of shit as their GOP friends. At least there is a three week extension in the House passed by a very slim majority. There is no more need for debate, pass the bill without the immunity and let the President veto.
