The FISA Bill Does Indeed Suck

Here's the latest ad from cop in the Village People look-alike and US Congressman Dave Reichert.

Apparently, Reichert is psyched that the NSA is illegally listening to soldier's having phone sex with their wives.

Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.

"Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy'," Faulk told ABC News.

Faulk said he joined in to listen, and talk about it during breaks in Back Hall's "smoke pit," but ended up feeling badly about his actions.

"I feel that it was something that the people should not have done. Including me," he said.

I can see why Reichert would want to attack Darcy on this.  Then again, I can also see why he might support illegal eavesdropping on phone sex from US soldiers.

HAHA Reichert looks like a fag! (4.00 / 2)
Oh, wait, this is a liberal blog.  Well then what was the point of Matt posting that picture?

closeted he man (0.00 / 0)
He's running on a hypermasculine image that is steeped in homoeroticism.  I'm mocking the creepiness.

Uhh.... you want to explain that one, Matt?


because Republicans are freaks (0.00 / 0)
Republicans believe in sexual boundaries for the little people and boundless power and no rules for themselves.  That's why Reichert, a 58 year old Congressman, takes pictures of himself looking like a muscle bound male escort, votes for policies allowing the NSA to eavesdrop on soldiers having phone sex with their wives, opposes birth control and choice, and yet portrays himself as a family values man.

Frogs! Flaming black pitch! Lackof bipartisanship! (0.00 / 0)
Jeez, what next?  All good Republicans should mark their doors with goat's blood on Election Day Eve?


I love Darcy Burner (0.00 / 0)
This is an cheap, banal shot at her opponent, and it is beneath her.

It's a little funny.

Sure, (0.00 / 0)
It's funny, but beneath you too. Bill Maher would use it in a heartbeat, which is why is show isn't as great as it could be.
