Kit Bond bonds his lips to Bush's ass

Every time some right-wing knucklehead defends Bush's illegal wiretap program, you can just imagine them downing a big glass of blood. This is equally true of the Republican Establishment and the DLC-led Congress (more on the latter some other time).

Instead of impeaching Bush and prosecuting phone industry giants for breaking the law, Republican Sen. Kit Bond of Missouri wants Congress to retroactively change the law so telecommunications corporations that conspired with Bush's warrantless wiretap program have immunity from being prosecuted for their role in the scandal.

Bond also says he wants to broaden the wiretap powers allowed under the law.

It turns out Bond is a big recipient of campaign contributions from Sprint, so of course he's going to do the telcom racket's bidding when they get caught illegally conspiring with the government.

Meanwhile, congressional Democrats say they're looking for ways to curtail the government's eavesdropping authority - even though they just helped approve broader authority last month. The law passed last month forces phone companies to cooperate with the government's warrantless searches and shields them from being sued for it. Who would have ever thought a Democratic Congress would actually approve the expansion of Bush's wiretap powers?

Of course, the August bill was sponsored by the Republicans Bond and Mitch "The Glitch" McConnell at Bush's recommendation.
