VIDEO: “Isn’t it Ironicâ€: Remy Rips Feinstein on Spying
(From the Intellectual Ammunition section in Volume 19, No. 6 of the Liberator Online. Subscribe here!)
Okay, admit it: you had to laugh when Senator Diane Feinstein — long one of the Senate’s biggest defenders of NSA spying — was suddenly filled with outrage when she found out that SHE, too, was being spied on. Hey! That’s going too far!
The irony is just too perfect. And who better to point this out than the great liberty-minded comedian Remy?
In this 2-minute video from our friends at Reason TV, Remy updates the Alanis Morissette hit “Isn’t it Ironic†…with Feinstein in mind.
You can read the lyrics here. Laugh along with lines like:
Senator, this may surprise you
and the irony bites
but Congresspeople ain’t the only ones
with 4th Amendment rights
…oh, and we really like the quick dig at the Great Interner, FDR, too.
Share it with friends!
