Interestingly enough I heard today on Rush Limbaugh's show that not one democrat uttered that stoooopid question, What did the President know.... It was the press that asked it.

I don't believe for a minute that the press wasn't doing it except under order via talking points from the DNC machine.

From Meet the Press Sunday

MR. RUSSERT: Let me show you the comments by the two Democratic leaders in the Congress, Dick Gephardt on the House side, and Tom Daschle on the Senate side:

(Videotape, Thursday):

REP. DICK GEPHARDT, (D-MO): We need to know what information was given to the White House, and what they did with it, and we also need to know why it’s taken till now to find this information out..

SEN. TOM DASCHLE, (D-SD): I think two things need to be done quickly. First, I think the president should turn over the entire briefing that he was given to the joint bipartisan Intelligence Committee investigation today or tomorrow, at the earliest possible convenience. And, secondly, I think it is important that the president release the Phoenix FBI memorandum as soon as is possible.

. MR. RUSSERT: Let me show you the comments made by the senator from New York who represents many people who had died at the World Trade Center; it’s Senator Clinton of New York:

(Videotape, May 16, 2002):

SEN. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, (D-NY): I am simply here today, on the floor of this hallowed chamber, to seek answers to the questions being asked by my constituents, questions raised by one of our newspapers in New York with the headline Bush Knew. The president knew what? My constituents would like to know the answer to that.

End of Meet the Press Transcript excerpts.....

The Democrats quoted the press on the floor of the chamber, so it's a little disingenous of them to claim none of them ever said it.

Here is the quote I was looking for, followed by the link.

"It's not clear whether Daschle was aware of the potentially explosive information prior to its being put in the hands of Washington reporters. "I'd be surprised if he did," says a senior Democratic leadership aide. "It isn't the kind of thing he's want to really see or know about beforehand. But we know someone friendly to our side did the leaking. We knew if we could get something out there, the media wouldn't try to put the leak into political perspective for the public, just the potential for a 'Briefing-gate.' And, as usual, the press did our job for us."

''We Have to Get Bush''

That's the only "issue" they have.....try to make Bush look bad, and don't let a little thing like the truth get in the way.
