On again, off again, today the Republicans defeated the Republicans' Intelligence Bill.
Pelosi said: "Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House, and the blame for this failure is theirs alone" O8)
Lieberman said: "The commander in chief in the middle of a war says he needs this bill to protect the American people" screeeech!
Yesterday it looked like the Republicans would win, so after a hard day of kicking Republican ass, how's a Republican to gloat?
"Give me a cigar," said the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. He flashed a "V" for victory with his hand after signing off on the deal.(I'm picturing the Monopoly Banker)
Levin, irrelevantly the dem on the Senate Intel Com, expressed concern at a lack of oversight written into the bill. Oh well, that's never been a problem before!
It would be interesting to know if the amendment to strike requirements about officials reporting investments survived to the final bill.
In this case, I guess you can only root for the Republicans to continue shredding Republican legislation :shrug:
Go.....Republicans
