Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) is a true politician. After switching to the Democrat Party a few weeks ago, he now kisses up to one of his many bosses, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), by defending her in the whole lied-by-CIA brouhaha:
“The current controversy involving Speaker Pelosi and the CIA is very unfortunate, in my opinion, because it politicizes the issue and it takes away attention from … how does the Congress get accurate information from the CIA? For political gain, people are making headlines.”
Nicely done, sir. Now find a towel to wipe that brown nose.
Others, like former Speaker Newt Gingrich, is calling for her resignation on “Good Morning America”:
“She really disqualified herself to be the speaker. She has a unique responsibility for national security. … She made this allegation that smears everyone who’s trying to defend her.”
Gingrich has a valid point. If she is playing politics about this matter, slinging mud at the CIA, and lying to the American people, then she should do the right thing and resign. Otherwise, she ought to come out with evidence to support her allegations.
