Arlen Specter is a spineless, worse than useless, excuse for a United States senator

THIS is the kind of elected leadership we're paying good money for... he's not worth the powder to blow him up...
"He was telling only a part of the facts, really playing a cat-and-mouse game with congressional oversight," Specter said. "I do not believe that there is a perjury prosecution in the matter."

Specter then quoted from a Supreme Court decision that warned perjury shouldn't be pursued "simply because a wily witness succeeds in derailing the questioner so long as the witness speaks the literal truth even where the answers were ... shrewdly calculated to evade."

"Well I think that describes Attorney General Gonzales, where you have a wily witness, who has evaded the information which this Senate oversight committee was entitled to," Specter said. "Now just because it wasn't perjury doesn't mean it's the way the highest ranking legal officer ought to respond to a Senate inquiry."

you don't deserve your seat, senator... you're a disgrace to your constituents and clearly don't give a rat's ass about upholding your oath to defend the united states constitution...
