"Here we go again"

"We Are Frogs in Slow-Boiling Water

Here we go again: a story that could bring down any administration, especially considering the fabrications we've heard about the scope of the NSA's activities and the legalities thereof. But part of me suspects we'll be seeing the same old thing, a scattershot effort from Dem leaders, no genuine crisis coverage from the press, lockstep Republican apologists, and an eventual yawn as this fades into the Bush memory hole.

Remember: this is not about fighting terrorism, this is about honoring those things that make America the great nation it is. This is about honesty in government, about liberty, about our rights as Americans. This is about standing up to those who will run roughshod over the values our framers held dear, the values they enshrined in our binding document."-Peter Daou.

Discussing this latest revelation, John Conyers just said the following on Air America:

"I wonder what will we learn about next week, and we will learn something, because this administration is out of control with no regard for established ways of doing things."

Or something close to that.
