re: #548 Iron Fist

I thought he was a Democrat!

I saw Specter in some of the Ruby Ridge hearings in the early ’90s. He was actually pretty good. One of the US Marshals flat out lied to him, essentially saying the Randy Weaver had killed his son accidentally. In other words, this will be our coverup.

Specter jumped his shit, called him a liar, pointed out that the had the forinsic evdience showing that one of the marshals that was killed had shot and killed the boy, and that the SOB Marshal knew that they had that evidence.

He didn’t let the guy just walk on lying to congress, but he didn’t have him prosecuted, either.

Arlen has his good points. Here is one of his not-so-good points. Sometimes I wonder why he never switched parties.

In addition to pushing for talks with Syria, Specter has for many years advocated talking with the Iranians. He took issue with a suggestion made earlier this month by House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Howard Berman that any dialogue with Iran be of a limited duration, perhaps three months, so Teheran didn’t use it as cover to pursue their nuclear program.

“I think the dialogue ought to last however long the dialogue needs to last,” he said. “I would hope that it would last and be successful, and lead to diplomatic relations, and peaceful terms, and to a new Iranian president who doesn’t want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, that’s what I would like.”

Pure donk drivel.
