Tonight I was listening to the radio, and heard Matt Drudge blast Bob Barr for getting after Bush about this latest scandal involving wiretapping without warrants.
I need to know a little more about what it was that Bus has doing before I condemn him, but it sounds as if he was engaged in some shady stuff.
In any case, though, what floored me is that Matt Drudge apparently insisted that what Bush was doing was nothing, because we already are being spied on by Echelon, run by the National Security Administration (NSA), and have been since the Clinton years.
So apparently, if Clinton did it, it's okay (that's a high standard to hold our office-holders to).
I also got the distinct impression that Drudge was thinking of Bob Barr as a Clintonite, who would criticize Bush for doing things that he would have no problem with Clinton doing.
As I recall, Bob Barr played a big role (for the prosecution) in the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. So it is rather ridiculous to imply that Barr is a friend-of-Bill in any way, shape, or form. Or that he wasn't upset by the spying activities of the Clinton administration.
But then again, the Bush supporters have never been known to shy away from the ridiculous, have they?
That is all.
