Olbermann & Turley Discuss Karl Rove Subpoena

2008-10-17T15:30:35Z

KO: Joe Wilson's dream of watching Karl Rove frog marched out of the White House in handcuffs is long since gone. But a new dream has been born tonight. What about a turdblossom perp walk out of the front door of fix news?"

Looks like the only answer is to hold Rove in inherent contempt.

Hillary skipped FISA vote, Obama didn't

2008-02-15T03:38:37Z

I watched Jonathan Turley talk about this with Keith Olbermann last night. When it counted, Obama was there (sort of), Hillary disappeared, Congress failed us, and my head exploded:

"The fix has been in for some time on the unlawful surveillance program and the torture program," he said Wednesday on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. "Many Democrats and Republicans were aware of the program and they are actively helping the White House to try to shut down any confrontation on the issue. This is also helped by the fact the telecoms are one of the five most powerful lobbying forces in Washington, and many of these members have close ties to those lobbyists."
Turley panned presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who skipped the politically tricky and controversial Senate vote on the spy law Tuesday even though she had been campaigning in Washington that day.
"It really, I think is symbolic of this disconnect ... here you've got someone who is campaigning for the President of the United States, making pitches to civil libertarians, but doesn't even show up -- when she's in the neighborhood -- to vote against telecom immunity," Turley charged. "I'm not just dumping on her. The fact is there has been a lot of really duplicitous work being done by both parties."

That last sentence is very important. I, for one, am feeling betrayed by my party, repeatedly.

Republican John McCain and Barack Obama both voted on amendments to the measure; Obama opposed telecom immunity, while McCain supported it. Clinton left town early to get to a campaign stop in Texas.

What's left of my head just re-exploded.

Although he voted to sustain a filibuster on the FISA update, Obama left Washington for a campaign stop in Wisconisn without voting on the final bill.

A tidbit for you Hillary fans: The last sentence of that paragraph? About Obama not voting? That made the rest of my body explode. I have now fully detonated. The only remaining remnants are the fingers I'm using to type this.

Jonathan Turley on Randi Rhodes: The taser incident

2008-01-12T20:21:24Z

Patented, award-winning quick notes time! Jonathan Turley is interviewed by Randi Rhodes on the taser incident and more:

JT: [Re:Taser Guy] The response of the police was completely unwarranted. They fell on him. Each cop is about 200 lbs, so 3 or 4 is ridiculous. But also alarming is that he's charged with assaulting an officer. This is becoming common, bumping into officers is called assault. That's a very serious charge and prosecutors know it.
