ebonlockSon. Of. A. Bitch.
No, really, Harry Reid is apparently going to ignore Chris Dodd's hold on the telecom bill allowing retroactive immunity to all the companies that aided the Bush administration's illegal wiretapping of US citizens. Why? Well I hate to sound cynical, but it might just have a little bit to do with the fact that AT&T is one of Reid's top 20 contributors.
Well it was nice to have some small faith in the Democratic party for at least a few hours. When their corporate masters crack the whip they come crawling like a bottom with a raging hard-on. Fuckers.
BTW, you can write to Reid here
My own letter:
Dear Senator Reid,
I was shocked and horrified when I read this morning that you were considering overriding Senator Dodd's incredibly principled and steadfast hold on the FISA bill that would allow retroactive immunity for the telecoms. There is a strong indication throughout the web that you are doing so because AT&T is one of your biggest contributors. I don't want to believe that your actions are bought and paid for by corporate interests but I cannot see another interpretation of this action. Do you really care so little for the people you're supposed to represent? Have you no interest in protecting the Constitution and the laws that govern this nation?
I've rarely been given any reason to be proud of my party recently, but Senator Dodd's announcement yesterday made me feel it. It's so sad that only a day later you could do so much to return to me to the perpetual state of shame and disgust I've been feeling for the past 6 years.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
