Wow. Now this is a real surprise.

I hope Frist and the other Republicans have the spine, the cohones, to see this through to the end. The end would have to include:

1. Whatever "aide" wrote this is fired.

2. Rockefeller at the least is thrown off the committee. Ideally he should resign as a Senator, but that takes morals and values.

3. Screw #2. All these Democrats should be thrown off the committee immediately and replaced.

4. At the least, Rockefeller should be forced to disavow this memo, be seriously reprimanded on the Senate floor AND found guilty of ethics violations.

5. Sedition proceedings should be started immediately on all Democrats and ALL their aides.

If Rockerfeller or another Dem on the committee takes the fall and resigns, wonder who would be available to replace that fallen Dem?

Surely amongst all those Dems, one brave soul would avail herself and accept the appointment by acclimation--to save the Committee, the Party, the Nation, Western Civilization, the world and the planets beyond. Oh who, oh who would be such an heroic statesmanwoman? Who, oh who, would benefit from such a Committee position?

"All these Democrats should be thrown off the committee immediately and replaced"

This is extremely important!

And .. particular care should be taken in appointing other dems to the committee. There cannot be any dem appointed to the new committee who has FORMER CLINTON STAFF within their collective staffs.

Joe McCarthy was censured for defending national security, and for much less (wrt attacking an administration)... Time to censure Sen Rockefellar.
