Perhaps someone should tell Fratto that any citizen has “standing” to criticize the performance and integrity of any member of the government. It is called accountability. This administration seems to need a lesson. As for blaming the Democrats would someone please explain how you propose to impeach anyone without the votes in the House and how you would convict with your alleged majority hinging on Joe Lieberman?

Response to #12, Gregor: Boxer has no standing because she is not a member of the Bush administration or a financial contributer. Remember, to people like Fratto, congress doesn’t count. And far be it for a member of the MSM to ask your question as a followup.

Today’s Republican Party is a freak show of hate-filled sociopaths, immoral religious and social extremists, insecure, overcompensating, irresponsible, dangerously incompetent, war-mongering imperialists and greedy, exploitive corporate anarchists. Just look at the odious and inadequate carnival barkers and snake oil salesmen the Republican Party had competing to be their presidential candidate. Republicans tacitly welcome homophobes, misogynists, racists, anti-Semites and messianic fundamentalist nut jobs into their party and inherently incorporate their values into their moral fabric and political objectives. Being an Irish Catholic Democrat raised with four younger siblings by an uneducated single mom, I have never agreed with social conservatives, but compared to Bush’s Republican Party, Eisenhower’s Republican Party was a liberal bastion of social and economic enlightenment and pluralism. Defending the actions of today’s Republican Party is advocating ignorance and evil over common sense and common decency. It would be hard to imagine that any presidential administration, Republican or Democrat, could have been as malicious, polarizing, undemocratic, corrupt or destructively pernicious to the founding causes and defining principles of our republic than George W. Bush’s. I am surprised that I am ashamed for the “good” Republicans, only because I could not have possibly imagined how “bad” some Americans were capable of being.

Stephen Johnson’s immaculately coiffed, and grinning head should be adorning the point of a large, medieval pike mounted on a bridge over the Potomac as a warning for bureaucratic scrotes everywhere as to the dangers of too-enthusiastic, bureaucratic sycophantism…

sorry equation should be:

6 CO2(g) + 12 H2O(l) + photons = C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
carbon dioxide + water + light energy = glucose + oxygen + water

Wasn’t it the EPA under the Bush Regime that also stated CO2 emitted from exhaust pipes is different than CO2 emitted from tree leaves? Yes, I think it was. They’re trying to say CO2 emitted from exhaust pipes is safer than the CO2 coming out of leaves. Of course, CO2 is a molecule, so therefore, it never changes no matter where it’s coming from.

I thought the product of photosynthesis was O2? -
6 CO2(g) + 12 H2O(l) + photons ? C6H12O6(aq) + 6 O2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
carbon dioxide + water + light energy ? glucose + oxygen + water

Guess the bushies didn’t pay attention in biology class….

Even the president admitted we were one of the world’s biggest polluters – time to move on Mr. Johnson you fail. I’m sure you’ve done quite well for yourself and there’s always the book tour and speaking engagements and corporate news punditry…. yeah Stephen will be OK. Polar Bears on the other hand, – I suggest you take your kids to the zoo ASAP! Take lots of pictures.

Why should I vote for any Democrat? Once again we see that the Democrat party is cowardly and gutless. Gonzales should have been impeached early on. It is obvious that the Republicans and the president understand that the Democrat congress will do nothing.

The senators also asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate the contradictions between Johnson’s sworn testimony to Congress and the sworn testimony of other witnesses regarding the EPA’s decision to deny California a waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

Um…you do realize who you’re asking right? Asking Mukasey to investigate anything involving the Bush administration is like asking Haldeman to investigate Nixon.

The only way that either Johnson will resign or Mukasey will investigate Johnson for, in this case, perjury, is….well…not. There’s only one answer to any of this b.s. Impeachment hearings commencing in the House. Both Johnson and Mukasey can be impeached. I understand there were actually articles of impeachment being worked on for Gonzales before he finally resigned. Yes, it’s late in this administration. But for this group, better late than never. Drafting articles of impeachment might be enough to get these two to resign. Frankly, we’re better off with vacancies in these two offices for the remaining less than 6 months in this administration than having them remain. Mukasey especially, since he has no intention of doing his job, which is enforcing prosecution of violations of federal law. If any member of the administration is involved in these violations, Mukasey will simply continue to do what he has done. Look the other way. And I’m afraid the Dems will continue what they have done. Write strong letters and issue threats. I really can’t tell if they are fooling themselves or it’s simply a charade for the American public.
