While I agree that Ben the lackey should be removed, you must know this isn't going to happen. There is no question about the partisan nature of the entire circus going on there, but that is how it was meant to be.

I'm guessing that the Pubbies and White House didn't object to having a bunch of partisan hacks, plus Cosmic Kerrey, named to the 9/11 Commission because these characters provide due cause for the administration to dismiss the findings (blame) and recommendations if they don't them.

It's a calculated risk - hoping public will see these hacks for what they are, while garnering sympathy for the White House.

I would like to know more about the process by which the Commissioners were named. How many were named by the White House, how many by Congress, and were each party's picks subject to approval by the opposition?
