And Kean is too stupid to see that

Far from "stupid". It is obvious that this is turning into a quest to bring a president down. Kean is looking at all that entails to his otherwise inauspicious life.

You are right ...

Thomas "People ought to stay out of our business," Kean is obviously part of the problem. I don't recall the specifics, but a week or so ago I heard him being interviewed on the radio. He said something about re-configuring the FBI or splitting it up. At the time I was taken aback by his grandiose opinion of his and the commission's authority. Does anyone here have the time to look into Kean's statements?

I think you are touching on something accurate. I personally dont suspect that Kean wants to bring down the president but I do suspect that the republicans on the commission are suffering from delusions of their own granduer. Admitting that the commission is a joke and has turne into a partisan political exercise will not only reflect poorly on him and his ability to head the committee but for any republican on the committee to admit that it is defunct would in essence put an end to their moment in the spotlight as being people of importance deciding important things. I am personally disgusted with them.

Maybe indirectly because they have no case against Bush. The dems goal on this commission is to develop chinks in Bush's armour on the terrorism issue. Bush owns this issue with conservatives and they want to fuzz it up a bit for the independents and shave a few points off his approval numbers. I think Kean thinks his job is to act like a good RINO and appease dems.

Tom Kean invited his "old friend" (newspaper quote) Bill Clinton to speak at Drew University, where Kean was President, when Clinton was running against Bush I.

Tom Kean doesn't support the Second Amendment and believes in "reparations" payments to American blacks.

Tom Kean initially opposed Chrissie Whitman for governor in the New Jersey Republican gubernatorial primary because he thought she was "too conservative" (newspaper quote).

Tom Kean is a bloated, egotistical windbag with an inflated value of his own self-worth.

To call Tom Kean a RINO is an understatement.

George Bush's biggest error in judgement was placing this self-righteous, egocentrist in the position of Chairman of the 9-11 Commission.

My guess is the fix is in - kill Bush in 2004 and Kean gets a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court from a grateful Kerry administration - YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST ON FREE REPUBLIC!!
