| Punkass Weak-Willed Chump o' da Week: Sen Pat Roberts |
 CONGRATS shall be extended from all of us here at the HD to a one Sen Pat Roberts for earning this weeks (and the inaugural) "Punkass Weak-Willed Chump o' da Week!!!"
(Mr. Roberts is not to be confused with wacko fundamentalist charlatan Pat Robertson of the 'Christian' Broadcasting Network who fails to qualify for the award because, as we all know, he's merely ABSOLUTELY BATSHIT INSANE)
BACKSTORY: Now affectionately referred to as "Bush's Tool", Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts has become an integral part of the Republican Cleanse and Cover-Up unit in congress which has been instrumental in ensuring that the Bush administration not be held accountable FOR ANYTHING. As Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman, Pat has worked tirelessly to "stonewall" Phase II of a key Senate Intelligence investigation into how the Bush administration used intelligence prior to the Iraq War. This despite having described Phase II as "one of my top priorities" at the time the report from Phase I was completed. Of particular interest considering that just last week we learned that
"the former CIA official who coordinated U.S. intelligence on the Middle East until last year has accused the Bush administration of 'cherry-picking' intelligence on Iraq to justify a decision it had already reached to go to war, and of ignoring warnings that the country could easily fall into violence and chaos after an invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein."
This is, of course, just the latest high ranking government official (and lets remember that this was "THE DUDE IN CHARGE" of Mid-East intelligence from the CIA) to suggest that the Bush administration deliberately misled the American People and Congress in it's justification for going to war (see Colin Powell's former chief of staff Larry Wilkerson to begin your journey on that front. Or refer to the many documents, which combine like Voltron to form the Downing Street Minutes).
JUSTIFICATION: This week, using his authority as Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman, Pat Roberts thwarted yet another investigation into the conduct of the Bush administration. This time, it would have been an investigation into whether the President’s warrantless domestic spying program violates the forth amendment of the Constitution or the specific FISA section, which clearly states that it is a crime to spy on Americans inside the US without a warrant. Fortunately for America, Pat and the rest of the Republican Intelligence Committee Punks do not have the final word. Many Congresspersons still possess some modicum of integrity.
SIDE NOTE: In watching Meet the Press this past Sunday, in which Sen Pat Roberts was one of the four guests (all four of which were among the congressional leadership, or 'Gang of Eight', which were actually briefed on the NSA domestic spy program), I couldn't help but notice how absolutely frustrated Sen Pat Roberts seemed to be at times. I swear at some points during the interview it was as if he was virtually on the verge of tears.
Again, Congratulations Pat! You truly are one of America's greatest Plastic Patriots. |
