will any of the Republican committee members go here during Freeh's testimony? I won't hold my breath.

You don't want to make the Dems hate us. They love us now. It's such a precarious position we're in. You understand, right?

[RetiredArmy]

Nope. Your right. The republicans in congress are as weakkneeded as a Seattle homosexual.

They are the weakest bunch I have ever seen on one of these commissions — and I have been a political junkie for the better part of 30 years. The best analogy I can think of is that the Republicans on the commission are like a neighborhood sandlot football team up against the Super Bowl champions. No contest.

You're absolutely right. No need to hold your breath here. As if under a spell, they'll tuck their tails between their legs and meander off aimlessly, stare off into space like a bad case of ADD, or bite their nails in fear of speaking up..too frightened to say anything ("Gee, do I bring up this OBVIOUSLY SIGNIFICANT point,or let it go?....Oh, gosh, I just can't decide"..), or otherwise pretend that this is of no consequence.....

And we wonder why we're loosing the game.

Please don't; unless 'blue' is your favorite color. Was really hoping at least Condi, might redirect a question or two, to Gorelick; offering she might have a more in depth answer to say; one of Kerry's or Benpeniste's antagonistic and self-indulgent questions.

But no reason to hold one's breath; waiting for a Dem to be brought up short by a Repub.

And after watching the Dems grandstand; thought it would have been fair-play, if even an honest panel member had turned and asked Gorelick for some 'clarification'. Or better; just suggest that she should recuse herself. . .
