Damn Straight

Tom Daschle went to the floor of the Senate yesterday and delivered a scathing rebuke on the administration's abuse(s) of power. He talks about the many prominent investigations and allegations that BushCo has launched to discredit anyone issuing statements of dissent. A must read.

"This is not 'politics as usual.' In nearly all of these cases, it's not Democrats who are being attacked. Senator McCain and Secretary O'Neill are prominent Republicans, and Richard Clarke, Larry Lindsay, Joe Wilson, and Eric Shinseki all worked for Republican Administrations...The response from those around the President was retribution and character assassination -- a 21st Century twist to the strategy of "shooting the messenger."
