Gorelicks Her Wounds

Probably so. Further to the point, she knew if it did come up she could absolutely rely on the committee to "circle the wagons" around her (as they have done) and the biased media to completely ignore it (as they have done). She had nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

"It was like the last 5 minutes of a Perry Mason episode."

I still can't come up with the appropriate example, although yours is good. This was something with the impact of a groin kick, or a blow to the solar plexus. It was THAT dramatic! Maybe something like the toppling of the statue of Saddam?

It is important everyone knows who Tom Kean really is. You will read conspiracy theories about his business connections, but they are only theories. His politics, however, are on the record, as follows:

"I don't know of any connections Kean might have with the Bushes, other than they are Republicans. Kean is a different species of Republican from Bush. He's an old-fashioned, Nelson Rockefeller progressive Republican." -- http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0212/S00118.htm

"I've met Bush, but I know his father better than I know him. Actually, I've discussed 9/11 more with President Clinton. We are friends. We were governors at the same time. " -- http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php?story=20040104004806898

"President Clinton appointed President Kean to serve both on the Advisory Board to the President's Initiative on Race and as Chair of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. He is also on the board of a number of organizations including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the World Wildlife Fund, United Health Care Corporation, and the National Endowment for Democracy. He is Chairman of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and Educate America, and former chairman of the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation." -- http://www.depts.drew.edu/media/tkean/

There you have it: Tom Kean is a Rockefeller Republican (e.g., a flaming liberal) who considers Bill Clinton a friend, and who was a political appointee in Clinton administration.

Kean was appointed by the Bush Administration. If Bush approved the Kean appointment, then I have to agree with leftwing wackos on one point: Bush is as dumb as a rock.

I think she recovered enough to ask a few questions out of order, at the end.

Thanks for the clarification. I thought I remembered her questioning him. I just didn't realize that she wasn't going in her expected turn.

And to think a few weeks ago we were all praying for Ashcroft's recovery while he was resting up for this!

Our prayers were answered, with interest!

[princess leah]

I can hardly wait until mayor Rudy gets his time in - he was an excellent lawyer back in the 80s who broke down the Gotti crime mob...can you imagine how he'll break down this commission? GO RUDY! I guarantee you the dems are NOT HAPPY at the way the momentum of responsibility has shifted away from BUSH and onto their side even with all their media minions trying to push things!

[John Lenin]

Incredible stroy about Kean, this whole thing is a scam coverup. I'm outraged at this point.

[Enterprise]

I am beginning to hope that this whole 9/11 commission and Gorelick's blunder is going to turn into a political miscalculation of the first order. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because it may still take time for this to fully sink in to the national psyche.

[mewzilla]

I want to hear more about what Gorelick did while she was at the DOD.

[double_down]

Put a fork in this commission, it is done. GoreLick and Ben VanFatAste have cemented the image in the minds of most Americans that this is all about politics. We need a few more Congresscritters like Sensenbrener out there on TV calling for her resignation to keep this in the forefront. I hope GoreLick remains on the commission because it will taint the findings of this aweful creation of the Jersey Girls and John McCain.

Tom Keane is the biggest fool / tool in DC. He takes old GoreLick at her word after she has demonstrated an inability to tell the truth.

And why did Slade Gorton carry GoreLick's water during his time with Ashcroft? I thought Gorton was being a little tough on the AG. No wonder Gorton lost his senate bid in 2000 - his RINO vote to aquit Clinton on impeachment lost thousands of conservative votes. Some of these DC repubs never learn that the dems will stab you in the back at any time, regarless of how nice you have been to them.

[Enterprise]

Me too. Like others have said, if she hid this, what else is she hiding?

[mewzilla]

Apparently (I didn't hear it myself) Limbaugh said something today about her gutting some special ops programs while she was at DOD? I googled and found out that she belonged to the DOD's Threat Reduction Advisory Committee. I wonder what kind of advice they gave?

[VRWC For Truth]

After the Widder Carnahan stole his Senate seat, it has to be sweet.

[deadhead]

Thanks, Diogenesis. 9/11 Never Forget

[kittymyrib]

Note that she handed off her questions to that pathetic goof-ball Slade Gordon. I wondered why he was asking such hostile questions of Ashcroft, but they were HER questions that that RINO puppet was reading. I think he has a crush on her, that senile old goat. He and Kean are reason enough for the conservative Republicans to warn Bush that he is treading perilously close to the line for many of us.

"She isn't going to have to resign, and they aren't going to ask her to testify unless there is something else out there that we don't know about," says the staffers. "She told the chairman Tuesday night that there wasn't anything else, and he believed her."

Whaddya wanna bet there's more that pops up...

[cyncooper]

Apparently (I didn't hear it myself) Limbaugh said something today about her gutting some special ops programs while she was at DOD? I googled and found out that she belonged to the DOD's Threat Reduction Advisory Committee. I wonder what kind of advice they gave?

I wonder if she already told the commission about that?

[Mo1]

"It's too late for her to step down. She should have had the sense and ethical makeup to not accept the commissioner's job

And WHO was it that put Gorelick on the Commission in the first place???

And gee isn't having her on the Commission a great way to avoid having her to testify??
