Bush Can Now Look In Everything But Your Anus

President Bush is continuing on his journey of destroying America. Today we learned that on December 20th George gave himself the right to open people’s mail without a warrant. But don’t worry, it’s only totally fucking illegal.

Bush gave himself the new power during the congressional winter recess when he signed a postal reform bill, then jotted a little “signing statement” at the bottom. The statement gave him the ability to open people’s mail under emergency conditions. If he had read above his signing statement he would have seen that the bill reinforced current protections of mail from searches without a warrant. Past presidents would have used this thing called a veto, which was created to force the different branches of government to compromise. But now you can apparently just jot down a contradictory statement at the bottom of a congressional bill.

A Senate Intelligence Committee aid promised they will look into Bush’s totalitarian move. Many in Congress were not happy.

"Despite the President's statement that he may be able to circumvent a basic privacy protection, the new postal law continues to prohibit the government from snooping into people's mail without a warrant," said Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), the incoming House Government Reform Committee chairman, who co-sponsored the bill.

But Bush seems to have a lack of understanding of the separate government powers that were established by the Founding Fathers, as well as how those powers operate.

"You have to be concerned," agreed a career senior U.S. official who reviewed the legal underpinnings of Bush's claim. "It takes Executive Branch authority beyond anything we've ever known."

No shit.
