The Dem spin from Sen. Reid (D) is that the memo was STOLEN by Republicans. They're saying it's like watergate. Pure BS. Somebody GAVE that memo to Sean Hannity, and I'm betting it was a staffer; I'm also with Sen. Kit Bond, (Mo, R) that this memo came from the very highest reaches of the Dem party, and by that I think he means McAuliffe-Billary.

Sean should just tell them that the memo was leaked by a Democrat named Deep Throat.

If you'll notice, the current Dem spin is that only Frist and Daschle can calm the waters over this memo. That essentially means that Democrats are willing to let this issue drop.

Republicans, on the other hand, are pressing forward. And consider...we *know* how we got the memo and who it came from. We aren't so foolhardy as to press an issue in which we are at fault. If this memo was Watergate Part Duex, then we'd be dropping it right now. We aren't.

So this is obviously an issue on which the Dems will suffer. The only question is how far will they fall (based of course, upon how much they fight the inevitable).

100% right. Frists worth to me will be proven in the next few days. He has proven completely ineffectual in dealing with the Dems on judgeships. If you reacall his first day in Lotts old job, he was dogged by Hillary over fund sharing in the comitees. Now is the time for him to stand up to the Clinton cartel of Mcauliffe-Billary...

I think that you're right...if the Republicans really push this...and it's zeros in on Rockefeller....will he take a hit for the the home team or will the players rebel against the lousy, scum sucking managers of the team and take back their party by standing up for their country?
