NSA statement does not deny 'spying' on members of Congress

The NSA is one of the most powerful organizations on this planet, and the only people that could actually be kind of a threat to them, are members of congress. So in other words: the only people on this planet, who have the ability to do something against the total surveillance of the world... are exempt from surveillance.

Who the fuck, would believe that?

Not only that, but with typical rates of addiction, adultery, domestic violence, pedophilia, drunk-driving, tax cheating, etc. there is huge potential to build a "caucus of the compromised." Perhaps enough to swing any vote that needs swinging.

"caucus of the compromised"

Nice turn of phrase - some googling suggests it's original?

I'll take credit for it if it is in fact original. It did just pop out while writing this.
