The Dick and the Bush try to muzzle the press (cont.)

Last week the Dick said he was upset about the NYT publishing an article about the CIA tracking our bank accounts.

Yesterday the Bush seconded the Dick's attack on the NYT: "The disclosure of this program is disgraceful."
This all followed hard-on-the-heels of New York Rep. Peter King's utterly absured assertion that the Times had "committed treason" and should be criminally prosecuted.

This purely political circus is about to move from the rediculous into the realm of the fantastic:

According to The Hill:

"House Republican leaders are expected to introduce a resolution today condemning The New York Times for publishing a story last week that exposed government monitoring of banking records.

"The resolution is expected to condemn the leak and publication of classified documents, said one Republican aide with knowledge of the impending legislation.

"The resolution comes as Republicans from the president on down condemn media organizations for reporting on the secret government program that tracked financial records overseas through the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT), an international banking cooperative.


"Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.), working independently from his leadership, began circulating a letterto House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) during a late series of votes yesterday asking his leaders to revoke the Times’s congressional press credentials."

Yesterday, in his NYP column, one of the administration's most reliable puppets Bill O'Reilly asked an interesting question: "Who do you trust to keep you safe - The New york Times or the Bush administration?"

Given the track record of the Dick and the Bush, the answer to Mr. O'Reilly's question should be obvious.
