CSPAN2 Now -- GOP hollering over Democrat intelligence committee memo

CSPAN | 11/05/03 | CSPAN

[dep]

Saxby Chambliss begins, saying, "There was a very clear and definite outline of undermining the President, the DoD, the intelligenct community; it would truly undermine the opposition in Iraq." Demands that Democrats disavow the memo and its contents.

PAt Roberts is dreaming. "Rockefeller is a good man, a good friend, a man of bipartisanship"????????????

What the hell is wrong with these guys. Roberts has the memo in his hand. He is cognitively dissonant or a direct descendant of Pollyanna.

[truthkeeper]

Roberts: "Rockefeller is a good friend and colleague...we have had good public discussions...it's time to build a bridge and put this in the past."

He's now being interrogated by Durbin, who will spin this in the best RAT light possible. Good grief, I have just stepped into the Twilight Zone.

[abner]

Durbin seems to be moving in for the kill on the Pubbies.

[cars for sale]

Dickless Durbin of mafia land ain't backing down

[dep]

would anyone else here truly enjoy an animal planet special: "when giant anacondas eat dick durbin"?

[DeuceTraveler]

Thanks. : )

[jwalsh07]

I have nothing against Anacondas and thus see no reason for them to suffer from food poisoning.

I would! I would!

Fox just did a report on this and showed Chambliss.

Ack--Durbin.

Roberts wants to get at timeliness and accurateness of intelligence involved.

Durbin: The lack of response is why we are on the floor today. Two functions of the intelligence committee. Wants an investigation and complains that the chairman wants to wait. Rockefeller has shown the "patience of Job".

The Republican majority has built a wall and won't look at how the administration used this information.

Durbin claims he's never seen the memo and doesn't know what it says.

[dep]

he's speaking in outraged tones as if he, comrade durbin, is the actual president. there are days when it is a good thing that i am not in charge of lightning, and this is one of them

[tubebender]

Durban is turning it around and killing the Pubs. Sick Sick Sick...

[abner]

Yea.

[cyncooper]

click!

[LisaFab]

This is incredible! Durbin calling for independent commission! The arrogance is breathtaking.

[iBillDavis]

senator durbin calls for an idependent commission to investigate

[jmstein7]

BUMP!

[abner]

Investigate, investigate, investigate... . Wow... I've had it all wrong all this time. It's the Dems that are the good guys. I guess I've seen the light.
