I don't like being bothered by this stuff. Why can't people just cooperate and do what I tell them instead of making my life difficult. I just wanna be done with it. I mean the guys gone already, my friend won the election anyway so why can't you all stop bothering me. " I just want mine over with". If this guy gets elected again then his constituents have no pride or integrity. What a condescending, authoritative sociopath. He remains completely self-absorbed and thinks "oversight" is just a word for others, but for Domenici it's just too troublesome.

I'm sure plenty of criminals just want the whole thing to go away. Nixon probably wanted Watergate to go away. Reagan wanted Iran Contra to go away. Libby wants the Plame-gate to go away. Oh wait, thanks to a presidential pardon, that one did. And there's your avenue out. You need to get on the VP's good side. Maybe get some Haliburton earmarks inserted into some legislation, and I'm sure the VP will be more than happy to get Bush to pardon you, too. Oh wait, you came out at odds with the administration on the oil stealing (Iraq War) recently to try to save your job. Eek. Sorry, you're toast. By the way, you did try to get Iglesias to prosecute some trumped up charges against your political rival right before an election. Your phone call to him was intimidating and intentionally trying to persuade him - meaning you tried to abuse the justice dept, and in doing so, violated senate ethics rules. You attempted to engage in election fraud. Then you got the guy fired who wouldn't play along. I'll be contributing to the guy running against you. Ha ha ha.
