How Dare He???

From the Borowitz Report:
[A]n FBI spokesman said that the agency has arrested a man for secretly wiretapping Oprah Winfrey, adding, “If anybody’s going to be eavesdropping on innocent American citizens, it should be us.”

OK, it's from Borowitz, but before I noticed that, I had no trouble believing it was true. :-(

hey, TC--
interestingly, I saw a definition of 'government' several decades ago in a Heinlein novel:

'Government--that agency that is allowed to undertake acts which, if done by an individual would be deemed illegal.'

I believe that definition to be true generally--but this WH takes it to severe extremes.
