We have met the enemy and, yada yada yada
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies. - Winston Churchill 
I'll leave it to you to decide whether Manuel Miranda ought to
be punished for
reading enemy e-mail, and using it to demonstrate just how
the filthy bastards operate. Should Winston Churchill have been
punished for using Enigma? And, didn't Lt.
Colonel West do pretty much the same thing? He did if you,
like me, see Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee as enemy
combatants. They're certainly my enemy, and Miranda it seems was
about the only person in the American camp fighting them. Now
that he's about to be professionally executed, we're told"[his]departure signals that Senate Republican leaders will likely pull back from confrontation over Bush’s judges. "Pull back? What really frosts me though, is Miranda "agreed to resign under pressure from Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)." Orrin Hatch? Has there ever been such a monkey-humping, armpit-smelling, dick-guzzling, puss-nibbling, cock-brained lunkhead, who didn't have a (D) at the end of his name? Sheesh. |
Not to mention software stealin'.

Posted by: Rick at February 5, 2004 06:01 PMFunny how when a conservative digs up dirt the uproar is over how the dirt was found. Nary a word was said when the Martins intercepted and recorded Newt Gingrich's phone conversation with their "truck-seat mounted Radio-Shack scanner". No investigation was done over the salient facts that the scanner they owned was new and therefore incapable of receiving cellular phone frequencies and the crystal clear recording could have only been made with a hard wired recorder. Mr. Miranda stumbles across what amounts to a crime being committed inside a house with the curtains open and he is held to task for looking and reporting it to the authorities. Republicans need to grow some balls and start defending themselves.
