If AT&T and Verizon don't get immunity by Friday, the terrorists win and we made the Baby Jesus cry

That's essentially what Bush said in relation to FISA in tonight's SOTU.

2. Sounds like a good time for a Dem congressional retreat

But of course, they won't go.

3. DARN!

We can't have that, can we?:hi:

[derby378]

4. But of course not!

If the telephone companies don't have immunity, then they can get sued. And getting sued can cost a lot of money. And we can't deprive the phone companies of their money, can we?

[east texas lib]

8. Indeed!

I'm sure they and their attorneys will cry all the way to the bank!:cry:

5. They will get it.

I will bet on it.

6. Verizon stock go up today?

7. "And I'll veto the bill and the terra'ists will kill y'all...that's how much I care."

Isn't it rather odd that this bill is so fucking important to the security of the world that he'd veto it if it meant a lawsuit against a goddamn telecom?

So, Mr. Bush, you're willing to let the nation get attacked again just so AT&T and Verizon don't have to answer for their crimes? Who exactly are these terrorists, anyway? Pretty strange priorities you have there.

9. Again, why do they need Immunity if they did nothing Illegal?

Explanation?

10. Its not

AT&T and Verizon that he is worried about, its his and Cheney's ass that they are trying to protect. Telecom immunity is the last step to make sure that Bu$h/Cheney will never have to be accountable for their lawless spying on Americans, that's why they are pushing so hard for it.
