Congress Must Censure Bill Delahunt
June 28th, 2008 at 12:07 am by BrianFor those not masochistic enough to sit through a Genuine Soviet Show Trial, several former counsels for the administration faced a House Committee in hopes that Jerry “Go” Nadler could get the quote he was looking for.
That quote was “Bush wants to torture terrorists’ kids”. As if strapping a bomb to them and sending them into the pizza parlor is how the terrorists got to be Father of the Year.
Regardless, David Addington and John Yoo schooled the Not-Ready-For-Primetime congressional comrades on what a real attorney looks and sounds like.
What follows is one of the most despicable comments I have heard in a hearing ever.
David Addington is the Vice President’s Chief of Staff. Yesterday, he testified before Congress.
During the course of the hearing, Congressman and Obama Superdelegate William Delahunt (MA-10) asked Mr. Addington about water boarding. Mr. Addington responded that he would not go into details because Al Qaeda is probably watching.
Congressman Delahunt’s response was, “I’m glad they finally have a chance to see you.”
A sitting Congressman snidely suggesting that he is glad al Qaeda is getting a good look at one of the attorneys who advised the CIA how to interrogate the people who organized the September 11th attack.
This committee effectively used a subpoena so they could advertise the face of someone they hated politically and begged the enemies of this country to get a good look at him.
The comment itself isn’t treason. No, Delahunt’s existence is that. This was something else. This was a Congressman rooting for al Qaeda to kill the Vice President’s Chief of Staff in full viewing of cameras in a Congressional Hearing.
He should at the very least be censured and at the most thrown out of Congress.
Contact your representative today to let them know that Delahunt said was beyond the pale and demands censure.
Delahunt claims he didn’t mean what he said. But enough other Democrats on Capitol Hill clearly understood what he had done. Sen. Charles Schumer, who bunks down with Delahunt when they are in Washington, D.C., made sure his schedule was such that he wouldn’t be in contact with Delahunt for several more days, according to a Senate leadership aide. “We don’t want any part of that guy right now. We expect he’s going to be in the middle of something pretty ugly, pretty quickly.”
Oh, now it’s going to get ugly?

I’m waiting for the official rebuke from the democratic party…oh, and flying pigs.

The only way you get rebuked by Dems is to say that there is a different God than the Obamessiah.
Only Taliban holdouts in Waziristan take a harder stance on blasphemy.

That’s a fantastic business card. I’d hire an attorney on the spot if they had one like that.

Dude, I contacted my Congressman, Brian Bilbray’s office yesterday and I was told that they were already on it after Delahunt signed his own death warrant by uttering that shit in that Committee. I also sent a great, big Dick Cheney-style rebuttal of “Go F*** Yourself” via fax to Delahunt’s home office and DC office. That scum-bag’s days should be numbered as an elected official.

Just another fine representative from the People’s Republic of Assholechusetts.
Kennedy, Kerry, Frank, Delahunt, etc.
The people who decided all this Red State/Blue State bullshit really jumped ahead of the game early to define the narrative so the “red” moniker wasn’t re-attached to these commies.
Now the True Blue Americans are considered redstaters and the Real Red Communist Revolutionaries get a clean start.

This Delahunt is no different than any other Democrit/hypocrit trying to bring down this Country. It’s time to kick them all out. We need to start over and the younger adults need to take action to save this Country. God Bless America.
