The Leahy Follies

In a truly stunning development (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek), Senator Patrick Leahy, D-VT, has announced the formation of a 'Truth Commission' to investigate possible crimes committed by Bush Administration officials with regard to the war on terror.

Leahy is the very one who said during investigations of the Clinton Administration during the 1990s that such things are a waste of time and money and should therefore not be done.

Apparently, for 'Leaky Leahy' (he earned that nickname when he illegally leaked classified documents) that depends on who is being investigated.

Leahy was willing to give Bill Clinton a pass. He is not willing to do that for George W. Bush. But then, we have come to expect such stark hypocrisy on the part of Democrats once they get in power.

When confronted by a reporter for Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Leahy said he was only trying to 'find out the truth.'

Sure, Senator. We already know the truth about you.

'Leaky Leahy' also leaked classified information that got a CIA mole killed in Syria.

He should have been charged with manslaughter at the least.

Yep! And the problem with expelling him from Congress and prosecuting him is the fact that he is not a member of the right Party for such disciplinary action.

Had he been a Republican he would have been tarred and feathered and place under the jail for years.
