If Rover has no bone to hide…
Then why is he so resistant to play catch with Congress?

Paul Rothstein argues that ONLY criminal activity in the Executive Office ISN’T protected by Executive privilege. However, how can one prove such criminality if witnesses are shielded from testifying about the truth? What remains but speculation of guilt – OR INNOCENCE. Why obstruct Justice if you are innocent – What is there to hide…
If there’s nothing to hide… ? ? ?

Oh, puh-leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!! What Ms. Wasserman-Schultz has apparently utterly failed to recognize is that there’s a very simple explanation why Bush has been ignoring and dismissing Congress — because they’ve let him get away with it! It’s been my experience that if you show people you’re willing to be satisfied with dregs, that and no more is exactly what most of them will give you. As often as not, if you want other people to respect you in this life, you have to fight for it and refuse to accept anything less — which goes triple when dealing with a proven bully like Bush. The only way to earn a bully’s respect is to fight him — and unfortunately, even that doesn’t often work when dealing with the kind of utterly narcissistic bully who’s determined to win at literally any cost. For pity’s sake, what good does it do Congress to have teeth if they won’t use them?!?!? If they want Bush to give them the respect which is their due as an equal power in the government, then they should start acting like one instead of rolling over and playing dead whenever Bush snaps his fingers!

I was just talking about starting over with a good friend. Many years ago even politicians were considered “civil servants.” I think the whole concept of public service has gotten twisted and mangles by career politicians who will do anything to preserve their greed for power. I am really angry about all of this – I wish I knew where it is all going. Someone needs to step up and do the job they swore to do.

The problem is we need term limits, I think 12 years is perfectly reasonable. One term in the Senate and 3 in the House of Representatives, or two terms in the Senate. That would end career politicians from getting this powerful. I don’t think we would as many abuses that are currently happening. Plus, that would really hurt the Lobbyists. They are part of this nightmare; they get their hooks into members of Congress and we see them not looking out for the citizens they are suppose to be representing.

Is it bad karma to wish for inherent contempt charges, and a video of Rove being led away in handcuffs that very evening?

I’ll believe it when I see it. With McClellan’s book out, if the charges in that aren’t enough for impeachment than I don’t know what is.

It’s hearsay until someone from Congress asks him to go on the record. Let’s see what Congress does after reading the book.

But, I agree with you, we have yet to see them stand up to this administration at all. Most will pay for that by not being re-elected. I have Kucinich in Ohio so I personally can’t complain, he at least has tried.

Also I hope the Siegelman case gets looked into at the same time. A man with a perfect track record gets jailed for corruption. The key witness had been interviewed and questioned more than 70 times by the prosecutors, who also had him “repeatedly write out his testimony, because they were frustrated with his recollection of events” (according to 60 Minutes). If that doesn’t make a couple of alarms go off, I don’t know what does.

Because, otherwise, we all know he’s going to evade arrest, hiding in Sean Hannity’s basement.

We see the Democrats take charge in 2008 and still no substantive action to put an end to the antics of this White
House. I doubt that we see it now.

I think most of us would love to see him handcuff and humiliated being shoved into the back of a police car. That would definitely be cause to have a big party..

I’d second that with fireworks!!

The hits for the YouTube video would be in the millions. July can’t get here quick enough for me..

You make perfect sense. The Bush administration was only able to destroy the Constitution because the dems allowed it – at least after Novembers elections, and before. I fear it is the win at any cost philosophy which is driving our entire political process. The dems will let the thugs get away with the crimes because some of the dirt will fall onto their leadership for sitting on their hands for so long. I think it is time to completely start over with our political parties. We need more than just two or three parties competing for our votes.

Release the hounds!

Um, where is Wexler on his big ole petition to impeach?
