WASHINGTON, March 16 (UPI) -- Democrats are urging President Bush not to retaliate against a whistleblower who spoke out on alleged White House efforts to suppress Medicare program.

A letter sent to Bush Monday by Sens. Jon Corzine, D-N.J., Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., asked Bush to instruct staff to avoid taking action against Richard Foster for speaking out about alleged White House efforts aimed at keeping Congress in the dark about alternative higher cost estimates for the new Medicare prescription drug program.

At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue the same Democrats demanded the prosecution of a Republican whistleblower who revealed that Dems on the Senate Judiciary committee were engaged in treason.

Has that actuary been canned yet? Time to get on it, FUR SHUR.

Show the guy the same amount of compassion that the Demorats say is appropriate in these instances.

What a crock. The guy said he'd have to resign if 'his' numbers weren't used.

Fact is, he's still there and said there is no way to know which numbers are correct.

All this phony posturing by the dems is sooo transparent.
