What does it take...

To get this country to wake the fuck up?

They made Clinton give sworn testimony so they could set him up for a perjury rap concerning... consensual oral sex with another adult. But violating the constitution? We don't need no steenkeeng sworn testimony!

The Progressive Daily Beacon: "Not that anybody would know it, the US Senate is holding a hearing regarding Bush's illegal domestic spy program"

Not that anybody would know it, the US Senate is holding a hearing regarding Bush's illegal domestic spy program. Peek in on the so-called news channels, and one is more likely to find them covering streaking pigs, than they are to find coverage of the hearing. This news "black-out" of Bush's illegal domestic spy program isn't unexpected - it doesn't after all, involve something newsworthy as a President's sexual transgressions. No, this particular Senate hearing is about the hum-drum, boring, anti-sexy, and apparently, for America's news channels, the unimportant topic of a President violating the Constitution and citizen's civil liberties.

Also, not surprising, though not many American people will be made aware, Republican Senator Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, immediately declared the Attorney General wouldn't be sworn in before giving testimony. As the Democratic Senators pointed out, Gonzales had been sworn in during his two previous appearances before the committee. Though, for the news channels, Gonzales not being sworn in wouldn't be important - the fact of the matter is that, last time Gonzales was questioned before the Senate, he lied.
