Wait a second here...

Miranda is saying he was promised they'd go after the contents of the memos.

HOWEVER, Weyrich is not aware of any promise. He also seems to be saying Frist DOES want to look into the contents of the memos.

Who do I believe? I need more than just Manuel Miranda's say-so about these promises that he claims Hatch and Frist made. He has proven to be less than trustworthy by allowing this to go through the press as opposed to immediately telling Hatch, in my opinion.

Reread the article. The organizations that work with the Republican side of the Judiciary confirm that they were told Miranda resigned so that the pubs could focus on the content of the memos. The article also quotes a republican strategist that told of a meeting of Senate Pubs where the same conclusion was reached--by Miranda leaving they could get back to the substance of the memos.

I am concerned Hatch is worrying about his legacy more than the serious criminality in those memos. This is not just partisian bickering. The Senate Pubs on the whole are a huge disappointment to me. They can't get together and fight on issues like the dems do. I don't want them to be unethical like the dems, just get on the talk shows and newscasts when certain issues come up and stand behind Bush when the dems are lying. They seem to forget that Bush bailed them out during the 2002 mid term elections and took a political risk doing so.

Hagel and McCain are worse than dems because they give the media a way to say "even republicans agree with the democrats. Sen. Chuck Hagel said today "(or McCain,take your pick. ) Add Chafee to the weinie list too. For a while Lott went on MSNBC alot to take pot shots at Bush, but maybe his bitterness has calmed down. I do really like our newest Senator Cornyn,miss Sen.Gramm and Sen. Thompson.
