Out of touch in the Linguini Triangle By the Bear

The inhabitants of the Linguini Triangle commonly known as Washington D.C. have displayed a very unique habit for being so far out of touch with the people of this country that it is absolutely astounding how these morons keeping stepping into a pile of…..
Probably the best time for most Americans is the holiday season because the country is best served and safe when Congress is not in session.
Each day I keep coming closer to a conclusion about the politicians in Washington. They are there because of the ability to get votes or more amply put a pocket full of money to buy an election with. All this proves, is they can get elected but it does not provide the country with wise or intelligent men who have the best interests of the country at heart. In fact I believe that the I.Q. level in Washington is lower than the average American.
The following two articles about the latest outrage in Washington over “Spygate and Wiretaps” goes to prove my point.
In Article one Michael Scheuer who headed the CIA unit that tracked Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from 1996 to 1999, says he developed and led the “renditions” (wiretaps and intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States.) program for the Clinton Administration.
SideBear: Our elected officials in Congress are provided with large staffs at a cost of millions of dollars to the American taxpayers. With this kind of research asset available, wouldn’t you think before they started serious running of at the mouth and stepped in into a pile of ….. the staffs would have investigated the legalities and how previous Presidents and Administrations handle “Spygates.” Right now they are looking like the fools that they are.
In Article two is a poll by the Rasmussen Reports stating that 2 out of 3 Americans think that it is a good idea to listen in on the terrorist and see what they are plotting.
SideBear: I didn’t need a poll to tell me this, all had to do was have a beer at the corner bar and listen to Joe average American.
Most of Congress governs with their finger up in the air, so one has to wonder how they got on the wrong side of this issue. May be it’s because they got their heads up their anal cavity where the sun don’t shine.

CIA renditions began under Clinton: agent
The US Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) controversial “rendition” program was launched under US president Bill Clinton, a former US counter-terrorism agent has told a German newspaper.
Michael Scheuer, a 22-year veteran of the CIA who resigned from the agency in 2004, has told Die Zeit that the US administration had been looking in the mid-1990s for a way to combat the terrorist threat and circumvent the cumbersome US legal system.
“President Clinton, his national security adviser Sandy Berger and his terrorism adviser Richard Clark ordered the CIA in the autumn of 1995 to destroy Al Qaeda,” Mr Scheuer said.
“We asked the president what we should do with the people we capture. Clinton said ‘That’s up to you’.”
Mr Scheuer, who headed the CIA unit that tracked Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from 1996 to 1999, says he developed and led the “renditions” program.
He says the program includes moving prisoners without due legal process to countries without strict human rights protections.
SideBear: How does a Democrat answer this New Year’s bombshell? How ironic for the Dems that every time they think to got something on Bush, they end up having to defend Bubba’s.
National Security Agency Rasmussen Reports
December 28, 2005–Sixty-four percent (64%) of Americans believe the National Security Agency (NSA) should be allowed to intercept telephone conversations between terrorism suspects in other countries and people living in the United States. A Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 23% disagree.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans say they are following the NSA story somewhat or very closely.
Just 26% believe President Bush is the first to authorize a program like the one currently in the news. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he is not while 26% are not sure.
And Power Line adds, Ouch. This is definitely evidence for the “Wile E. Coyote” theory that the Democrats are marching off a cliff. My only word of caution is that liberal arguments often are not popular when they are first launched, but the unremitting drumbeat of the liberal media sometimes allows them to get traction over time. Whether the legacy media can convince Americans that it’s a good thing for their families to be at greater risk of being blown up, remains to be seen.
