I Would Llike to Say I'm Surprised...but

they've set the bar so low for themselves, actions like theses--blatantly illegal ones--hardly make me bat an eye anymore. How sad...

One question though: When will someone in this administration be held accountable for their criminal acts and incompetence?

BTW

I work a government job. If I did what Karl Rove is alleged to have done here, I would be fired so fast...

Hmmm

Did anyone hear believe there was only that one meeting with the GSA?

The silver lining

It says something about their waning power and hold on the American soul that they have to resort to extralegal actions so pervasively in order to maintain even a hairline majority. And now, in spite of those machinations, even that tenative majority is evaporating.

It may not be a death rattle, but the patient is definitely showing respiratory difficulties.

Our opponents?

Dana says: "I would just remind you that I know that our opponents for years have tried -- have misconstrued that speech." "Our opponents"???

It's very disturbing to me that the President's spokesperson thinks it's OK to call his critics his opponents. While I know that it's true they all think that way, I guess I thought the few people there who know how to use words and can speak and think in complete sentences would know how wrong it is to call us that when they represent all of us. You have opponents in a war, or maybe a political campaign.

Are the Democrats willing to hold this administration accountable or not?

H.Res. 333 "Impeaching Richard B. Cheney, Vice President of the United States for high crimes and misdemeanors" introduced by Rep. Kucinich still has no co-sponsors. I wonder if the Democrats will even give it a hearing. If the Cheney & Bush administration can just flout the law without consequences then why shouldn't they just ignore Congress?

Dennis

Dennis Kucinich , Great spirit , good mind , decent strength heart and gravity . What is not to like about this kid ? Not pretty enough ? Teeth not bright and shiny ? Just what makes one of the best and brightest people in America let alone Cleveland , the butt of the kruel cool kids endless smarmy "he is not good enough to shine my shoes" implied false eye contact shenanigans , acceptable ? . I suppose it must be some think tank sobriety which thank goodness we have had the good sense to watch as they drag us beyond a third world nation into a cesspool of walled communities with not only thirty thousand gun deaths acceptable a year but quieting armed insurrections more frequently as the new Tsar of "Whatever" wages "Whatever" war they think will distract us from the Global heating problem which if my chaezuz meter reads correctly isn't happening anyway until R o Clock .
