Poor Mike…he’s but one of hundreds of Gorgeous W’s stooges.
Please Keep Those Calls And Letters Going…

Yesterday, Spencer Ackerman did a process piece about the contacts that we’ve been pushing on FISA via the ACLU and others. What Spencer didn’t know, because I wasn’t contacted, was that I got the tip from Liz Rose at the ACLU, then contacted several Hill staffers for independent confirmation of her report. And that I also spoke with a print reporter about the issues involved….and discovered through various sources that a lot of the discussion on the telecom immunity issue is eminating from Kit Bond’s office, among others on the GOP side, who are working hard to push that meme out into the media — haven’t yet ascertained whether it’s an attempt to split the Dem caucus from grassroots support, or whether it is a wholesale attempt to sway Dems on the Senate Intel committee, but I’m working on it.
