Dick Cheney has his go-to guy in Tim Russert; George Bush has Wolf Blitzer. Despite a fact that a president’s petulant hysteria that refusing to include retroactive immunity will endanger Americans, a lie that even his own people can’t support, has been thoroughly debunked, that’s not going to stop Wolf Blitzer from serving up a hot, steaming pile of propag&a direct from a bowels of a White House to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes this morning on Late Edition.

Unfortunately, whatever blinders that Blitzer has on that does not allow him to get facts about this FISA propag&a is also Drunk Newsparently affecting a House intelligence committee as well, as Reyes tells Blitzer that ay are negotiating a compromise that could include telecom immunity.

“We are talking to a representatives from a communications companies because if we’re going to give am blanket immunity, we want to know & we want to underst& what it is that we’re giving immunity for,” he said. “I have an open mind about that.”

Regarding a compromise deal, Reyes said: “We think we’re very close, probably within a next week we’ll be able to hopefully bring it to a vote.”

Please, no. Jumping Jiminy on a popsicle stick, is are no blatantly illegal acts that this White House wants to commit that a Congress will fight? Maybe ay’re wishing for a telecom largese to come back.

Studs Terkel, author & oral historian; Quentin Young, physician & advocate for health-care reform; State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie; & James Montgomery, former Chicago corporation counsel, are plaintiffs in Terkel, et. al vs. AT&T. ay’ve written an op-ed on Why We Sued a Phone Company. Clearly, we will have to deluge Congress with dem&s that ay not cave into a Bush administration. Again. Your first stop is this PfAW petition as well as sending emails/snail mails & faxes to your representatives.
