Terror Guy’s ‘Terrorst Surveillance Program’

Terror Guy’s "Terrorist Surveillance Program"
It got really bad. I mean really, really embarrassing bad.
President Bush lost his place when trying to explain his ILLEGAL spying. He
lost his place a couple of times and couldn’t say what he meant without reading
it off a sheet.
Now, illegal wiretapping is to be called Bush’s "Terrorist Surveillance
Program." It’s no longer NSA illegally spying, but TSP, Bush-style spying. Ah, I feel so much better.
Leaning on the podium, jabbing forward, extolling the defense of attacking
Saddam Hussein by defending his reasoning, Bush started from 9/11 and didn’t
stop. He went through 9/11… Iraq… Saddam Hussein… why we went into Iraq…
Afghanistan "democracy" – on that one you need to ignore the headlines
– then back to the U.S. and the Patriot Act.
It was a laundry list speech the went on and on and on and on.
At the end he finally got to the illegal wiretapping issue by renaming it the
"Terrorist Surveillance Program."
By going from 9/11 to the illegal wiretapping, Bush was trying to make the
case that he’s been right all along, so he’s right now. That he’s protected
us so far, so we should trust him on his "Terrorist Surveillance Program."
Unfortunately, if he believes in his "Terrorist Surveillance Program,"
he should have been able to talk about it without losing his place on paper,
referring to Karl’s notes time and again, and basically looking very nervous.
Terror Guy was a rambling guy today, on the defense, offering up yet another
wacky name to make his case.
"Terrorist Surveillance Program"? Give me a break. You can dress
a pig up all you want, but a pig is still a pig, and illegal spying is still
illegal… still domestic spying.
Unfortunately, the people may buy this drivel. Especially if Democrats don’t
come up with a way to fight it that people can understand.
