I heard this today on the Rachel Maddow Show, and not 10 minutes later, Commenter Bucky sent me the link to the video. And golly! What a video it is!
Here's what it's about, if you haven't already seen it:
If you're still confused about the whole warrantless domestic spying program that the telecoms colluded with the government on (which is being conveniently shuffled away from official scrutiny, forever), Snuggly the Security Bear by Mark Fiore sums it all up in the absolute cuddliest way possible. [Mark Fiore via BoingBoing]
Froomkin sums up the most recent events:
After years of going belly-up before President Bush, particularly on matters of national security, Democrats in one chamber of Congress yesterday apparently decided they'd had about enough.
Defiantly rejecting what they called Bush's fear mongering, House Democrats refused to vote on a broad surveillance law their Senate colleagues had sent them the day before.
And, for good measure, they voted to hold Bush's chief of staff and former counsel in contempt.
Snuggly the Bear is so gosh-darned, extra-special, wowee-kazowee cute! He makes wiretapping seem like, well, like an After School Special! Grab some milk and cookies and watch the fun!
And then go sign a petition to impeach Bush and Cheney.
