I predicted the totally predictable last night.
And so it has come to pass: The left-wing fairweather friends of
privacy are all over the leak of Aunti Zeituni’s immigration info —
while Joe The Plumber remains persona non grata. Democrat Rep. John Conyers has already called for a federal investigation. The WaPo is already up with an A-section story on the anonymous leak. And the liberal blogs are up in arms.
The MSM abhor anonymous leaks — unless they’re helping to undermine
Bush administration anti-terrorism programs or conservative causes and
candidates.
Laughably, the Obama cultists suspect that Bush administration
officials are in cahoots with the McCain campaign and the Associated
Press.
These people have reading comprehension and reality comprehension
problems. It’s the Bush administration that has moved to protect Aunti
Zeituni. It’s the pro-shamnesty Bush administration that will ensure
that nothing happens to her. Pro-shamnesty McCain isn’t going to touch
the story. McCain adviser Mark Salter told WaPo that it’s a “family
matter.”
Another predictable prediction: McCain will issue an edict
forbidding staff from talking about this the same way the staffers are
forbidden from mentioning Jeremiah Wright — with disastrous results.
Never mind that the massive, systemic problem of deportation fugitives is a matter of national security and rule of law.
“Family matter,” my foot.
By the way: Where in the world is Aunti Zeituni? Who knows? And if
it wasn’t Barack Obama who helped her get here, who did? How did she
get a Social Security card? Who advised her to apply for public
housing? Who did she know with a saavy enough legal background to help
her navigate the paperwork of the welfare state?
