There are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires — a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order before we do so. It’s important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.

Bush lies. That’s like saying fish swim. Yes, he’s a liar. He’s a law-breaker, admits it, and says he’ll continue breaking the law, and lying. So who’s going to do anything about it? The most corrupt congress in history? The most apathetic, indebted and obese populace in history? The info-tainment, wholly-owned subsidiary of the government media?…Bush will finish his term, maybe even be president-for-life, and all this is just hot air.
Lord Mush doth not lie. He doth slightly prevaricate upon prevarications upon occasion and does at times, as is his wont, meander from the emerging facts.
