Have you heard who is silent lately?

It is Hillary Clinton. I did a Google search and found that she has not said anything about the silly "wiretapping scandal." I am sure that liberal partisans are shocked that the authoritative Google shows one of their leaders is not blindly following in their own partisan footsteps.

Hillary is being sensible. She is trying to distance herself from the partisan Democrats who are claiming that Bush should not break the law if he wants to. That is ridiculous! If Bush does break any laws, he would do it in a nonpartisan way. It would be wrong and partisan to get upset over that. That's why I stay out of politics -- it tempts you to say absurd things.

UPDATE: Hillary has gone too far! Yes, she still is being tasteful in not yet criticizing a president for the victimless crime of not following a law passed by Congress. But I saw on one of those blogs I never read that she has been so gauche as to question the way the FISA court rubberstamps warrant requests. She is actually not a total fan of the Patriot Act!

The Senate bill, which I supported, not only required the government to meet a higher standard before issuing these orders, it also gave recipients of a FISA order an explicit and meaningful right to challenge these orders and their accompanying gag orders in court. The conference report sadly retains a variation of the current law’s exceptionally lenient standard of review, a standard that effectively turns the courts into little more than a rubber stamp. Further, the conference report does not give the recipient of a FISA order any express right at all to seek meaningful judicial review of its gag order. Quite simply, the conference report places inadequate checks on these orders.

It is interesting that a Google search does not always say everything you want to know about what someone has not said. Do you like Google? I like Google. Maybe one day we can have Google races and see who can do the quickest searches for things like "Mello Yello" and "drywall." That would be fun!

But it is clear that the hyper-partisans at Kos and Atrios will still never criticize Hillary for anything, ever, because she is a Liberal. They are too partisan!
