Remind you of anything?

Okay, so President Bush authorized spying on American citizens without warrants or any oversight. The program expanded to include domestic political opponents, peace groups, the ACLU, etc. When this was finally exposed, the President gets up and gives a press conference that can be paraphrased basically as "Iraq, Iraq, Terror, 9/11, Al Queda, Terrorists, 9/11, fuck you all, I do what I want, terror, 9/11, al queda, 9/11. Thank you and good night."

(And the New York Times knew about this over a year ago, back before the election, and didn't report it. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, New York Times?)
