A sign of the times

I saw this photo over at Group News Blog and felt compelled to share it.

And speaking of that fine site--a group that kept on blogging after the blogging community lost the brilliant, informed, passionate, and eloquent Steve Gilliard--I commend to your attention the article by Lower Manhattanite on wiretapping posted today [link].

It says in part:

Which is why this fight over the telecom immunity proposal is something that should NOT be given up on, even after it passes through the Senate like the corn-studded abomination we all know it to be. Yes, the “consideration” was ”delayed” a week as news like Klein's bombshell hit the bill's superstructure...and yes, our good friend, Dianne Feinstein—Cali's biggest whore since Mary Carey, is running a “Specter”—feigning concern now, so she can quietly relent on news-dump Friday next week as her check from her telecom masters clears. We—me, you—need to contunue to make this an issue all through the election season, and post-the 08's.

Because dammit, that's the last bastion, ya'll.

And may I just say that Dianne Feinstein surpasses Mary Carey and any other whore California has ever produced. Voting for an anti-flag-burning amendment to the United States Constitution was the last straw for me and I told her I would never vote for her again. A rather long succession of abominable votes has followed that incident. She clearly does not care about Constitutional government or the People of this nation. Now that I am in New Mexico , voting against her is not an option but if it were I'd fly back to my home state of California just to do it.

The Wikipedia article on Steve Gilliard is here.

UPDATE: Be sure to check out Glenn Greenwald's article in Salon on Feinstein, whom Greenwald calls "Bush's key ally in the Senate." Says it all.

A taste of Greenwald:

Dianne Feinstein may be betraying the overwhelming majority of her constituents. But as a result of her "heroic" work in the Senate, her husband sure is getting richer. And she is beloved -- just beloved -- by Arlen Specter, Trent Lott, Fred Hiatt and George W. Bush. And in Beltway World, that is far, far more important.

Yes, in my mama's way of putting it, DiFi has made me lose my Christianity on numerous occasions.
