"Others on this site and elsewhere have done a marvelous job of exposing the fact that Obama almost certainly broke the law in his dismissal of Gerald Walpin (and perhaps other IGs). This story is not concerned with what Obama has done, it is concerned with what it reveals about Obama’s view of executive power. What Obama’s firing of Walpin reveals is very simple: Obama is a believer in the Unitary Executive Theory."
Shoes on the other foot now. Taking what President Bush has done and expanding on it. How many emails have they "read" now? How many personal conversations has the NSA "heard"? Even Senator McCaskill is seeing it. And you fine folks are just letting it pass. "It's a Democrat doing it, that makes it Okay." Some day a Republican will get the office of the presidency again. He/she will get to reap what President Obama has sown. And so will y'all.
Posted by peter at June 19, 2009 04:15 AMMark it down in history, June 18th, 2009 was the first day in the Obama administration that our president took Bill Maher's advice and wasn't on the TV! How long will it last?
Posted by peter at June 19, 2009 04:52 AMHeehee. Every time the 20%ers parade around an obscure new meme that no one but the Malkinites understand, I get the image of a potty training toddler running to show mommy his poo. Put it back in the toilet, peter, it's stinkin' up the place. Aw, don't eat it...too late. Kids! It's gotta be embarrassing that the party of no are so out of the mainstream, they're going after comedians, just to get attention. Not surprising since they don't understand humor. They always attack what they don't understand... which is pretty much everything, now that I think about it. Poor things, flailing impotently at everything that moves.
Speaking of kids, right wing hero and Holocaust Museum killer had child porn on his home computer. Yep, he's a Republican, all right. Following after the Limbaugh tradition, without the private jet and bags of viagra.

Posted by peter at June 19, 2009 05:24 PMWhat does an expected turn of events have to do with my busting you on your lame-ass attempt to drum up a tussle over some obscure right wing outrage o' the day? You make yourself look silly with such weak attempts at diversion. Really, have you no shame?
