Et tu, Bruti?... RINO Specter at it again...

RINO Emeritus Arlen SpecterSphincter had this to say regarding the precariously-crafted NSA non-issue non-scandal:

Just because we're of the same party doesn't mean we're not going to look at this closely," Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa,, said on "This Week" on ABC.

Specter plans to hold committee hearings on the matter next month, with witnesses to include Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, The New York Times reported.

Specter has said he does not agree with the White House view that Congress effectively authorized the National Security Agency surveillance in a resolution passed shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

He said if Bush were found to have acted illegally, he would most likely face "a political price" rather than impeachment -- in part because of what he called broad support for the administration's efforts against terrorism.

It was a huge mistake for Bush to back SpecterSphincter in the 2004 elections, where he faced stiff opposition by a conservative republican. How anyone can back such a RINO for senate, much less give him the chairmanship of an important committee, is beyond me. The only answer that I can come up with is that Bush was Bush, and Arlen was Arlen. Specifically, Bush was being his loyal self, demonstrating his new tone, and operating on good faith that through his support of SpecterSphincter he would be treated with like respect. And SpecterSphincter, being the turncoat that he truly is and always was, ignored the magnanimous and instead went his RINO ways.

Don't get me wrong. If this was something seriously wrong that Bush actually did, I'd be concerned as well. But to play into the dems' hands on such a trumped-up "scandal" dreamed up for no other purpose than to provide a vehicle in which to perpetrate another political witch hunt and to engage in fustian hyperbole is beyond reprehensible on Specter'sSphincter's part.

The leadership in the GOP (heh.. is that an oxymoron nowadays or what?) needs to strip SpecterSphincter of any leadership post, give him a broom, and let him serve out his term emptying wastebaskets.

He is persona non-grata. He is an embarrassing failure in the quest to enact the conservative agenda that we in the grass-roots have worked so long and so hard for, and for which the majority of Americans voted.
