Though it was no condemnation, today Arlen Specter, stated that the Bush Administration "owes a specific explanation to the American people." At least it is a start. Specter rightfully cited that the President has lashed out at (as part of full disclosure, Specter did not actually use the word "lashed" but instead used something along the lines of "justifiably criticized") Congress for leaking information, yet has done nothing to diffuse this situation.
While Specter has showed some courage to go against the party line, the supposed, real "maverick" of the Republican party has been totally MIA. McCain, we are waiting for your principled stand on the issues. But instead of calling on the Bush-Cheney mafia to explain themselves, he has been making nice with the boys at Liberty University. I fear the McCain has taken a rightward turn for the worse from which there is no return. He has turned into a total brown-nosing, ass-wiper who caters to the likes of the CC and Jerry Falwell. Apologies for the language, but I am just so frustrated that a politician who I actually admired seems to be content with betraying what I (and many others) believed were his ideals. Give the man some pom-poms, a wig, and a pleated short skirt, and let's call it a day.
