We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!
Kean told the press conference, “I think the commission feels unanimously that it’s some intimidation to have somebody sitting behind you all the time who you either work for or works for your agency. You might get less testimony than you would. We would rather interview these people without minders or without agency people there.”
He, of course, was referring to the White House counsel that they sent along with some of those people who testified! Didn't seem to bother them during the impeachment, did it?
BTW, Kerry is on TV right now, promising a FULL FOUR YEAR college education to anybody who does ANY KIND ofnational service.
I called and told the nice lady that answered the phone that Gorelick needed to be removed and questioned by the panel or else the Comission would have no credibilty (not that the Commision has any credibitlity, but I didn't mention the last part.)
Did you all see/hear what Kean said?! Paraphrasing, that we should all bug off and leave the commissioners alone to their own business?!
Unbelievable!!! I'm just flabbergasted, and trust me, it's darned hard to flummox this pretty hardened cynic.
I was born and raised in New Jersey, spending my late teens in NYC before moving out here in 1976. So I didn't live in NJ when Kean was governor. Where the heck did the people of my native state dig this braying jackass up? And which idiotic excuse for a Republican recommended Kean to the President to replace Kissinger as chair? (Forgive me for insulting jackasses.)
As to the point of getting Gore-lick off the commission, I called the commission office in Washington early last week to complain about the massive conflicts of interest both Gore-lick and Ben-Veniste have vis a vis their having worked in the Clinton administration. The staff twit (a young-sounding male) I spoke with was very defensive and whiny. His response was to ask — in a "nahnah nahnah naAHna" voice — "Well, what about director Zelikow (Philip D., executive director), he worked for Condoleeza Rice?" Hopeless talking to him. I thought he must have been one of the Dem-appointed staffers, but seeing Kean in action, now I'm not so sure.
This is the execuse they are using to keep Gore-lick: that others on the commission could be considered to have conflicts on both sides of the isle. And they use Zelikow as the prima facie example of a Republican conflict. To which I shout a very wholehearted horse puckey!!!!!
The commissioners, themselves, are in a role comparable to judges. The commission executive director is essentially a chief of staff, and his role is far different from that of a sitting judge/commissioner. If those elite commissioners, with all their presumed qualifications for the job, claim not to see any difference in magnitude between a blazing conflict of interest on any of their part vs. one on the part of their employees, then they are either lying, corrupt crooks or dumber than a box of 10 rocks.
Congressional or executive-branch commissions of one sort or another come and go in Washington all the time. Of the handful of truly significant ones in my adult lifetime, this is potentially the most important. Yet it appears to me to be THE most corrupt, ineffective, shoddy, poorly run, partisan hack jobs ever. I am beyond livid at what we all have seen from them, so far, and I'm targeting my fury and both sides. There isn't one of them whose comported him- or herself appropriately to the critical task at hand, in my opinion.
