McDermott: Taping Dispute Not Personal
You'd think that Jim McDermott would learn his lessons after the
DC Circuit Court of Appeals
upheld a lower-court ruling that McDermott had unlawfully obtained a copy of an illegally intercepted phone conversation. But that's assuming he isn't a stubborn idiot.
"The third person in line to be president was plotting a deception on the (House) ethics committee and the American people in private," McDermott said, referring to Gingrich, who was heard on a 1996 cell phone call telling House Republicans how to react to ethics charges against him. "The people have a right to know that," McDermott said. "John Boehner says people have no right to know, because it was done in secret."
This is too rich. McDermott's a pro-choice advocate. Now he's saying that Republicans don't have a zone of privacy in communications? Okay, let's see what happens when that road runs both ways.
Let's start with Sen. Rockefeller turning over memos between him and others in the Senate Democrats on their strategy to politicize intelligence reports.
Then let's have Teddy Kennedy turn over any memos regarding the strategy for 'Borking' Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, especially memos/to from Alliance for Justice, PFAW, NOW or MoveOn.org.
After that, let's have Dingy Harry turn over his memos for his shutting down the Senate for an afternoon over the Phase 2 Intelligence Report that Rockefeller was politicizing.
At the day's end, McDermott's an unpatriotic loon. This is the same Jim McDermott that visited Iraq with David Bonior just before the war and said that he trusted Saddam more than President Bush.
