Orrin Hatch on Imus today:

I give Orrin Hatch credit, as toadies go, he is uncommonly loyal.
The average lackey when faced with the imminent dissolution of the master, will take a final tumble, bow one last time, and quietly flee in search of some new magnificence to venerate.
Not Orrin though, Bush is still the smiling young Apollo that the Senator from Utah fell in love with on the New Hampshire campaign trail four years ago.
Orrin sounded scared today and shaky on more than few points but his embarrassingly canine devotion to Bush the Younger is undiminished.
Hatch's thesis is simple, ALL the President's problems can be traced back to "hand wringing" democrats in congress who wanna cut off our troops in Iraq.
Never mind the fact that those dems don't control either House of Congress...and forget about the casual criminality of President's staff or the irrational theses that goaded GWB to war...nope it's all the fault of the liberals.
This seemed to satisfy the smugly senescent Imus...I have to wonder though, are any of Hatch's democratic colleagues, (you know the ones who laud his bipartisanship) listening to Orrin's crude and increasingly delusional performances on the radio?
Otherwise it was a whiny passive aggressive appearance...you could practically hear Hatch's jowls quiver with indignation as he denounced as "imprudent" any congressional investigation of the Valerie Plame leak....this zealous persecutor of Bill Clinton couldn't see any point to a special counsel either.
Suddenly Utah's answer to Savanarola wants to be careful and judicious about the whole matter.
Ghod Bush's sycophants in the Senate are so hopelessly whipped that they can't even rise to the defense of a simple matter of national security i.e the sanctity of undercover operatives!
They won't protect our rights and they can't even protect the nation's secrets.
Appalling....this is the modern senate GOP, little more than field hands on La Famiglia Arbusto's plantation.

Hatch noted that Ambassador Wilson was "a partisan" who was for a certain presidential candidate but this proved a feeble line of attack and he soon abandoned it.
After all someone dimed out Wilson's wife from on high and that, party registration or not, is a crime in this country.
As usual everything is the fault of the liberals, the liberal media and liberals in congress in the Orrin-verse....that much never changes.
If this Wilson affair ever goes to trial it's be sheer gleeful heaven to hear Hatch parsing his sentences and twisting himself into a pretzel to keep in step with the White House spin.
Sick
Demented
Typical...
