Grassley - kissing up to torture boy, wants whistleblower PUNISHED NOW!

[emulatorloo]

what are we gonna do about this guy?

he cares way more about protecting President Bush that helping Iowans.

[Bluzmann57]

1. Not sure what we can do

He's allegedly the most popular politician in Iowa because he trounced Art Small last election, and Small was sort of a "someone has to do it candidate". So I guess we either have to hope for his retirement or find a good strong candidate to run against him next time. Vilsack? Junior Senator from Iowa, Tom Vilsack sure sounds better than Grassley.

NSA whistleblower:

DU THREAD here -

Grassley quote:

<snip>

Grassley then responded, "We do not hear as much public outcry as did with the Valerie Plame case." He added that the leaking of a covert CIA operative's name "was a two-bit nothing compared with this issue -- with this information (on the spy program) being leaked to the press."

9. 2 comments:

1) remember when he was supporting Sibel Edmonds right to speak out?
2) Why isn't his fucking grandson fighting in Iraq instead of trying to ride grandpa's name?
OK give 2 comments get a third one free:

3) What was Plame working on? Oh, yeah, nukes in Iran. Maybe if she hadn't been outed we wouldn't be heading to another war. (Or maybe she was outed so we could get into another war?)
