RW Shill (Manuel Miranda) resurfaces to aid GOP "nuclear" option

ook Who's Back

Manuel Miranda is still playing games.

You may remember Miranda as the former Republican aide at the center of “Memogate” -- last year's scandal that involved Republican staffers on the Judiciary Committee stealing and leaking Democratic strategy memos. Miranda resigned in the wake of that scandal, but he has all along shamelessly defended two-years-worth of Republican snooping though Democratic computer files. An on-going Justice Department criminal probe continues to focus on Miranda.

Meanwhile, Miranda has found the time to be the chair of something called the National Coalition to End Judicial Filibusters (NCEJF), which looks to be a GOP astroturf group cultivated just in time to help Miranda's former boss, Sen. Bill Frist, press forward with the “nuclear option” to end judicial filibusters.

Earlier this month, Miranda and NCEJF sent out a letter to Republican senators urging them to end judicial filibusters. With typical Republican subtlety, the letter compared recent Democratic use of the filibuster to the royal tyranny King George III wielded over the American colonies. (Of course, the competition among Republican demagogues is always fierce, and it looks like Frist is set to one-up his old employee at next week's Democrats-are-against-people-of-faith conference at a Kentucky megachurch.)

1. Kick! The Revolving door of dirtbags never stops

Nice catch!

What really sucks is how these assholes just move on to something else without suffering for past misdeeds.

You must know that when Tom Delay goes down, he'll just get a $20,000,000 job with some company that's propped up by the trillions that Bush&Co have stolen from the national treasury.

We need to bring these assholes down. All of them. But don't let our disgust for these people blind us to those who seek to take advantage of it, in order to split our party.
