Back in September, I wrote an article calling the Democrats out on their amazingly spineless Congress. Now, there are certainly a multitude of reasons to call Congressional Democrats weak. They manage to hold quite a few hearings on the criminal activity of the Bush administration, yet never actually do anything about it.

My previous article (brilliant) was specifically about the House Judiciary Committee investigation of the US Attorney scandal.

A couple of weeks later, the House Judiciary Committee recommended criminal contempt charges against Miers and Bolten. Next, the entire House has to vote on whether or not to hold the two devils in contempt. If they did so, the case would be sent to the US Attorney in DC. But the Dems did not get around to the vote before they went on their summer recess in August. They said they'd get to it in September. Fair enough.

In September, when they returned from their recess, they decided to put it off again.

This is the point where I called the Democrats weak and said they should take action as soon as possible, because to do nothing would invite the Bush administration to do whatever they wanted. My reasoning being it was one of the most flagrant abuses of power yet and a lack of action on such an obviously illegal act would lead to more and worse abuses, like, uh, deleting emails. and destroying hard drives that contained back ups. I was, of course, challenged by some of you morons here on the boards.

And it didn’t stop there.

Anyway, that clown was so wrong it is amazing. That’s why he gets called out on the newswire. It’s a shame, and it’s petty, but I’m the fucking politics editor, which makes me some sort of demigod.

The Democrats are, quite simply, liars. They sold America on oversight and have done no such thing. In 2006, Nancy Pelosi made this bullshit declaration.

Just not in September. And, of course, in October they didn’t have time for it because they had to deal with appropriations. In November, it was the SCHIP. In December they went back on vacation. Now it’s January. And those poor overworked bastards still can’t get on top of it.

It’s not like it’s important or anything, so take your time. Two ex-employees of the White House refused to testify in a probe into the firing of US Attorneys. Firings that seem to be politically motivated, in an attempt to fraudulently prosecute and investigate Democrats during an election year. The firings allowed the Department of Justice to purge voting roles of minorities, which gives the Republicans a MASSIVE advantage in the 2008 presidential election. So, by all means, take your fucking time. Maybe you can get around to it in 2010, after Bush has moved to Paraguay.

Until Congress actually does something, or anything, about the Bush administration's flagrant law breaking, they will continue to whatever the fuck they want, whenever they want. And the Republicans will continue to steal elections. And one branch of government gets weaker and weaker. Congress has destroyed Congress for years to come.
