Note to Russ Feingold: We Already Don't Take You Seriously

[Cartoon Update: A Fein Mess]

Honestly, Senator Feingold, you've proven yourself enough of a left wing kook that we don't strictly need you going off the deep end like this, in order to ensure no one takes you seriously.

In response to Russ's call to censure the President over the NSA terrorist surveillance program, Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush has offered a countercensure of Senator Feingold.  Mark suggets contacting your Senator if you want to throw your weight behind the effort.  He's even drawn up some boilerplate countercensure language for your convenience, which includes the following:

On Sunday, March 12, 2006, Senator Russ Feingold called for the censure of President Bush over the NSA signals intelligence program. This is the straw the broke the camel's back. To call for the censure of a President for exercising his Constitutional powers in wartime is just too much. It is despicable, and only serves to encourage the enemy.

I urge you to lead the Senate to censure Senator Feingold so that our troops overseas, and our terrorist enemies, will understand that in no way does Senator Feingold represent the people of the United States of America.

Quoth Feingold, "This conduct is right in the strike zone of the concept of high crimes and misdemeanors."  Listen, Russ, we know you want to run for President.  But take a cue from your party chairman and wait until you're headlong into your primary bid before you unleash your krazy on us.

GOP.com has compiled some of Feingold's finer moments, including his casting the sole vote against the Patriot Act in 2001 and feats of flip-floppery that would make John Kerry blush.
