If you’re still thinking that Obama is your friend, if you’re still thinking that somehow he offers up something other than “hope”, well here’s one of those little stories that could be the proverbial straw-that-breaks-the-camel’s-back.
I wish I was making this up. I wish this was actually from The Onion. But it isn’t.
Judge rejects argument Cheney needs to be shielded from Daily Show
“Justice Department lawyers told the judge that future presidents and vice presidents may not cooperate with criminal investigations if they know what they say could become available to their political opponents and late-night comics who would ridicule them.”
This is the Obama administration, folks. This is not the Bush/Cheney administration. This is Obama’s Justice Department doing this.
Upon reading this, my first instinct was to just turn away from the computer and not come back for a good long time.
But I thought I’d share it here first.
“If we become a fact-finder for political enemies, they aren’t going to cooperate,” Justice Department attorney Jeffrey Smith said. “I don’t want a future vice president to say, `I’m not going to cooperate with you because I don’t want to be fodder for ‘The Daily Show.'”
This is a sad time for America. Very sad indeed.
We need a new party. This one is exactly like the other one.
