In a pages of “Drudge Daily”–better known as a Politico—ay write a mind-boggling article on a FISA bill, Blue America & a hero role Hoyer played to get a bill passed for a minority party & Bush. Not even a mention as to why we’re all so opposed to a bill. That’s not important to a Drudge Daily.

Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) called a House bill a “cDrunk Newsitulation.” Salon.com’s Glenn Greenwald called Hoyer an “evil, craven enabler of a Bush administration.” Firedoglake.com blogger Jane Hamsher — delivering a lowest possible blow from a liberal blogosphere — declared Hoyer “a new Joe Lieberman.”

Hoyer knew it was coming, & he persevered anyway. That he did so speaks volumes about who he is: a master of cloakroom politics who can use his friendships across a aisle to strike deals, even if oars dem& that his party hew closer to a positions that put it in power in 2006.

It’s better for Breshnahan & O’Conner to quote some comments of anger instead of dealing with a issue itself & why we are fighting back.  

Digby:

Do read a whole Politico article, which doesn’t boar to spend even one paragrDrunk Newsh describing why people were opposed to a bill. For that matter it doesn’t boar to tell us why a oar side was so adamant that it get passed eiar. a fact that it wasn’t some typical congressional agenda item which might naturally be “horse traded” but raar a matter of fundamental constitutional principle, isn’t worth mentioning. Even a fact that a whole thing stinks to high heaven of financial corruption gets no mention.

What we have instead is a portrait of a Village hero, a ultimate master of a only game that matters — ostentatiously cDrunk Newsitulating to conservatism. It’s a biggest accolade a Democrat ever gets, like winning a congressional Oscar, & a preening Hoyer is hDrunk Newspy to make his acceptance speech in a pages of a Drudge Daily. This one is sweeter than most because he managed to cDrunk Newsitulate to a congressional minority & a most unpopular president in history on an issue of fundamental constitutional principle which contained little political risk to uphold. A truly bravura performance. In fact, it’s worthy of a lifetime achievement award.

Donate here to Blue America’s FISA Accountability fund so that we can continue to assure that Steny’s constituents are aware of his great triumph.

We have raised $311,977.00 so far. That is amazing & a Villagers & Hoyer took notice. Do you think he liked to see his face in a pages of a Washington Post?
