Be nice to know whose head should roll.

[plain talk]

I'd just ignore them.

[Mo1]

Mr. Foster still has his job. But Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Democrat of New York, said, "It is outrageous that the Bush administration would withhold vital information on an issue as important as the Medicare prescription drug benefit."

OH SHUT UP HELLARY ... you are the LAST person who has any right to complain

[Hank Rearden]

Hell, I knew it would be much, much higher! Big Stupid Government is utterly incapable of spending wisely, or within limits.

Bush just pulled a political fast one to buy votes. Whoever put the heat on this guy needs to go to prison.

[Bombard]

The truth is that the full cost in never really known for any of these programs. So $400 billion or $551 billion it makes no diffrence for in truth it will cost more. Take anything about cost with a grain of salt when Washington D.C. is the source.

[Texas Eagle]

Mr. Scully denies threatening Mr. Foster but confirms having told him to withhold certain information from Congress.

Fire his ass. Fire all their asses.

[DannyTN]

If Scully admitted to telling him to withhold info from Congress. Then Scully's head should role. But he's already out isn't he?

[Psycho_Bunny]

Dude....NY Times....You need to excerpt.

You know that.

[The Old Hoosier]

Reap the whirlwind, Mr. Bush...

[GeronL]

The administration lied about their prescription plan. We all knew it at the time, Congress knew it. So what is there to investigate?? Bush has the ability to fire the guy doesn't he?? So why do we care??

[Cagey]

That would be the LA Times, Washington Post and their subsidiaries.

You know that. :)

[Psycho_Bunny]

Not the NYT? Why did I think that?

Hm....I must have drawn them together with a common thread of sucking.

[teletech]

"For many years," Mr. Foster said, "my office has provided technical assistance to the administration and Congress on a nonpartisan basis.

Could this guy Foster be a Bush hating RAT!? I mean he throws this charge out and the RAT media jumps all over it like a dog on a bone. Where's the proof?

[boop]

Good. Let's fire the guy who said in 1965 that the medicare program will only cost 9 billion by 1990. Ooops, it was a democrat.

[Cagey]

I'm pretty sure there is built in software now that forces the excerpt feature if the source is on the sh!t list.

There are so many maybe the Times is on it? And I think the Times is registered subscription only. My head is spinning now.

[Morgan's Raider]

The request was made by Representatives Pete Stark of California, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut and Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, all Democrats, and Bernard Sanders of Vermont, an independent.

Some of the biggest bolsheviks in Congress, sycophants of the Clinton bunch, complaining about inaccurate information. Yeah, right. Especially when any drug plan they propose would cost at least twice as much as the one that passed.

[The Mayor]

bump!

[Teacher317]

Where are the W supporters on this thread?

[Brilliant]

Repeal this law, and give the Dems the credit.
