President Bush and the Republicans have been doing their best to scare the pants off the American people by lying through their teeth about the current FISA legislation and the fact-challenged pundits on Fox News Sunday did their best to perpetuate those lies this morning.

The perception they’re trying to give is that if the FISA legislation isn’t passed, our intelligence community will have to shut down operations and will no longer be able to conduct surveillance on suspected terrorists — which is absurd. William Kristol is dumbfounded as to why the Democrats don’t believe the president and his appointees (who cares that they have been lying to us for years?), when they say we’ll all die if this legislation isn’t passed. Luckily, Juan Williams steps in with the reality the GOP isn’t telling the public - the U.S. government can STILL do surveillance on suspected terrorists without telecom immunity.

1. Dick Nixon has a used car for this guy!

2. He understands. He's just a lying sack of shit.

3. Uh huh

And I'm sure Bill Kristol would be just fine with President Hillary Clinton having full warantless wiretapping powers at her fingertips.

Imagine it: President Hillary Clinton with the full powers to tap anybody's phone or computer, without a warrant, for any reason she felt like.

I'm sure that would be just fine with Bill Kristol.

4. I get so sick

of hearing the Bu$h Admin lie about this FISA crap and then to add insult to injury we have the Reich wing bootlickers repeating it ad nauseam. Not only can the Gov do their surveillance without telecom immunity but that little failure to pay the bill episode blows their necessity argument completely out of the water.

5. First laugh I've had this morning.
