That wild radical Pat Leahy, intent on sabotaging the admin and DoJ, is troubled by the AP phone

record seizure.

Why can't the old malcontent just sit down and shut the fuck up?

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in an emailed statement: "The burden is always on the government when they go after private information, especially information regarding the press or its confidential sources. ... On the face of it, I am concerned that the government may not have met that burden. I am very troubled by these allegations and want to hear the government's explanation."

1. K&R.

Assuming that this is sarcasm.

4. I tried to make that obvous.

[gateley]

13. You succeeded.

And ETA: VERY well done!

[Douglas Carpenter]

2. Pat Leahy has always been a Rethug just like Dennis Kucinich - they are so transparent

[gateley]

3. I know. They should have quotes around the D after their names. Do they think we're stooooopid?

[B2G]

6. This place is like Wonderland today. n/t

5. Glenn Greenwald must have hacked his email account

[cali]

7. He needs to be replaced as Chair of the Judiciary Committee immediately!

We need someone who NEVER questions the actions of the administration.

[Luminous Animal]

8. Or maybe the ACLU did it. Or the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Or perhaps the NY Times!

[Douglas Carpenter]

9. Greenwald - another Rethug - just like Leahy and Kucinich, CENK, the alternative media

Nuns of the Bus, the anti-war movement, the ACLU and all the civil liberties bullies - all Rethugs trying to wreck this administration

[cali]

10. It's making me a little nuts.

I don't get how people can justify awful policies just because they have the dem imprimatur.

And I'm getting a little tired of being called an Obama hater/basher because I can't support those policies.

[Douglas Carpenter]

12. I recall the words of the great British Labour Parliamentarian and now Baroness, Shirley Williams

"History has prove to us this century beyond any doubt that there can be a fascism on the left just as easily as there can be a fascism on the right - And I for one will have no part of it."

[Enrique]

11. they're all in the Firebagger lefty blogosphere

the whole lot of em!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Yep. He's a troublemaker. He probably sang along with Pete Seegar back in the day.

God Bless The Grass

by Malvina Reynolds

God bless the grass that grows through the crack
They roll the concrete over it to try and keep it back
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do,
It breaks and it buckles and the grass grows thru,
And God bless the grass

God bless the truth that fights toward the sun,
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
It moves through the ground and reaches for the air,
And after a while it is growing everywhere,
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that breaks through cement,
It's green and its tender and it's easily bent,
But after a while it lifts up its head,
For the grass is living and the stone is dead
And God bless the grass

God bless the grass that's gentle and low
Its roots they are deep and its will is to grow
And God bless the truth, the friend of the poor,
And the wild grass growing at the poor man's door,
And God bless the grass

17. Wow, what a great song, especially that 2nd verse! very apropos.

15. Senator Leahy

"That wild radical Pat Leahy, intent on sabotaging the admin and DoJ, is troubled by the AP phone record seizure."

...isn't calling for Holder's resignation. He is interested in getting all the facts, not simply relying on AP's initial report, which is the basis of his statement.
