Pelosi is just another puppet for the Republican... the Democrats (they are acctually Republicans dressed as D.) make a lot of noise, a lot of blah blah blah, but when it come to the crunch, they vote Republican... Shame on Pelosi! She should be taken "off the table!" I’ll wait and see… the Democrats so far have done nothing important, nothing significant, nothing serious to stop the WAR CRIMINALS in the WH.

Leahy to drag it out some more is the best opportunity for success of the contempt charges. Set the vote for after the 2008 elections so there are overwhelming numbers of Dems in Congress. Other wise the unscrupulous Rethugs will shoot the vote down. For Sen. Leahy to drag it out some more is the best opportunity for success of the contempt charges.

Then maybe a 2&1/2 yard load of offal delivered to his steps.

Just ignore everyone's requests an/or drag their feet until it's practically too late. This is what the the Bush is doing with his executive privilege BS. And Ken Blackwell just dragged his feet until it was time to certify the vote for the last Prez election. It works so well! Especially when the congress was under Republican control. There was no oversight then. Now, as you all have mentioned, the Dems are in power and they choose to only write STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS. Wow! They are kicking azz and taking names. What's next? Threatening to ground them? They know that they all will get away with it if they can just run out the clock. As we have seen in the past, no Prez ever gets investigated after they leave office.
