Pot calls the kettle black

You gotta be amused when Russ Feingold is shocked! shocked! that President Bush is trampling the Constitution.

Feingold came out in the Senate Monday with a resolution that would censure Bush for bypassing the law requiring a court order for wiretaps on U.S. soil. Senators couldn't run away from the idea fast enough.

Here's a guy who, with his buddy John McCain, shepherded through one of the most heinous attacks on the First Amendment since, well, since the heinous attack on the First Amendment that happened the day before. He ought to recognize Bush as someone who disdains the Constitution - it takes one to know one.

Feingold has no legitimate right to criticize someone for abusing the laws of the land, seeing as how he and John passed a law making it OK to abuse our most precious law. Not that he's alone; new attacks happen on a daily basis - It's just that Feingold has positioned himself to be called a hero for trampling the Constitution. If they were members of the same branch of the two-headed monster, Feingold would probably favor sanctifying Bush.

Russ and John both want to run for president in 2008. I'm not sure I could think of a choice that would fill me with more despair for America's future than McCain versus Feingold. Oh wait, there's always Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush ...
