"A direct assault on the heart of the committee--"

"This will not go away. We are at a crossroads. Until and unless this attack plan is addressed, business cannot be conducted as usual in this committee."

(paraphrased)

Quoted Zell Miller about "perhaps treasonous"

Says Dems have openly embraced this memo. Says that won't wash. Democrat reaction is destructive.

Dems should carefully reflect what they want to do...

Says Dems must clearly repudiate the strategy of the memo.

or else the Dems will destroy the effectiveness of the committee when the country needs it most.

Now Jon Kyl Arizona is on.

Thank you My Liege.

Says committee works in a vault to make sure it's secure. Says committe should be OUT OF BOUNDS FOR POLITICS!

Says there is a point beyond which you cannot go--when the other side, dems, take advantage.

Says Dems must disavow the memo and apologize.

Says too many hours have passed since first calls for disavowal.

I'm listening to Kyl now and all he is doing is confirming that they are all a bunch of cowards. They just don't get it and until they do we are all in danger. I think I'll go visit my youngest grandson because he will help me to calm down. Thanks Judith Anne for your great work on this thread.

I don't mean to be flippant, it's just that the Republicans have been handed so many opportunities to land big fish and they always practice "catch-and-release."
