AG Argh

Isn't it nice when the Attorney General can lie to the Congress and then blithely say that it was because he couldn't reveal classified information? And the White House backs him up? The same White House that sprinkles the 'executive privilege' fairy dust without regard to any limit or reasonability?

How can we stop this continued assault on our liberties, our rights, and our intelligence? At what point do we -- not the professional apologists, the ones who see the worst in everything their opponents do, but us, the great mass of undifferentiated people -- when do we start revolting against the arrogance and disdain that this administration is showing to the Congress and the country in general? When do we express our revulsion in concrete form, as was done in the last federal elections? The Congress is apparently the only path for legal change, but, divided, they can do no more than fume and fulminate - when they aren't defending the indefensible. Do they actually like looking like a pack of impotent fools on one side and mindless tools on the other? Do they enjoy that? Is that how they want to be remembered?

When does it end? When does the revolution start? When do rationality and reason and respectability return?

Sorry -- I know I said I wouldn't talk about this. But these people are shaming me, my country, and its history. At this point, I would pay to have the whole damn administration crew ridden out of town on a rail. They sicken me.
