Rush: Gorelick Quietly Asked By Kean To Resign!

Rush Limbaugh Radio Show ^ | 4/16/04 | LS

[LS]

According to an article Rush just read, Jamie Gorelick was quietly asked by Commission Chairman Thomas Kean to resign from the 9/11 commission due to conflict of interest. According to an unnamed staffer, she refused. Should we start a poll on how long she lasts?

[Dog]

I want Gorelick to stay on the commission.........hear me out.

As long as she is on it......they're tainted. She resigns......we will here the oldie from the left..."Can we just move on..."

GORELICK MUST STAY!!!!!!!!!

[calcowgirl]

Orrin again. Interesting.
Thanks for the ping. :-)

[hsmomx3]

I wonder just how many emails and calls he has received since we started our campaign to get Monsoor to testify in public as well as dismissing Gorelick?

[johnb838]

Definition: Gor-e-lick, n.Slang term for a shameless, partisan political whore. See clymer

[Palmetto]

Just more proof that GoreLICKER is nothing but a self-serving classless CLintonista Democrap Hack B*tch, whose only goal is to protect Huggy Bubba and the Clinton gang from any blame. My shoebottoms have more morals and class than this worthless piece of excrement.

Come on... tell us what you really think!

FWIW, I completely agree.

Gore-Hummer is personally responsible for the deaths of thousands. I just want her to hang around long enough to sing about whom ordered her to do what.

[gogeo]

You guys don't get it, do you? Kean and Hamilton aren't going to give her up. No matter what! You guys can bitch, carp and complain all the live long day and she's going to just be standing there. In the end, Bush will cave and call off the dogs because he can't afford to have them going on Larry King Live and pinning the whole 9/11 mess right on him. But by all means, have your fun!

Since I didn't address that, you are making assumptions about what I think. Whatever happens, the Commission is discredited. If the Commission doesn't call her to testify, they're seem as not being serious about national security. If she's seen as having information to offer, she has to resign. If they do call her, that taints everything they've done to this point...and that's BEFORE she testifies. Her testimony will blow up the process.

She can't quit the commission because that would be a tremendous blow to Hillary politically. This would seal Clinton's legacy, and Hillary by association. Lawyerly explanations won't cut it.

I think it's time to sit back and pass the popcorn.

[gogeo]

You have to wonder what fantasy world the Republican leadership lives in when they select ineffectual retired politicians like Orrin Hatch and Thomas Kean for the 9-11 commission,

Though ineffectual, Hatch is not currently retired.

[Palmetto]

As long as she is on it......they're tainted. She resigns......we will here the oldie from the left..."Can we just move on..."

This thing is much, much bigger than the ommission. Ashcroft exposing GoreLicker may have caused this omission to actually stumble upon the true cause of 9/11 - as well as expose some real problems with the FBI conclusions concerning OKC and TWA800.

She needs to testify, and I want to hear someone ask her to apologize to the families.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

I'm beginning to wonder what mental illness afflicts so many Republican members of Congress.

Among the males, it's called "Shrinking Testicularitis"

[woodyinscc]

Bush and his admin are masters of the Rope-A-Dope game (and, conversely, the dems are really, really bad at it). I would suspect that the WH knew the dums would stack the panel and just conveniently looked the other way.

Exactly.Ashcroft's opening salvo in his appearance, is just the tip of the iceberg. While the dims are looking for sound bytes, and to place blame, President Bush already has them in his parlor.!!

[Grig]

The families should pack themselves into the gallary, then when Gorelick gets her turn to ask questions they should start to yell RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN and not quiet down. Make Kerry pick between giving her the boot, or expelling the 9-11 families right there on TV.

[GraniteStateConservative]

"I know and respect Jamie Gorelick," he said. "I trust she will do the right thing regarding any conflict of interest or appearance of conflict of interest regarding her continuing service on the 9/11 commission."

No, Hatch is on our side. This is called "the nudge." It comes right before the announcement that the person in question wants to spend more time with their family.

[alnick]

You're quoting a journalist's characterization of what Hatch said. I don't trust journalists' characterizations of anything.

Hatch was collegial in the way he said it, but he did say he expects her to do the right thing regarding a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest.

I'm not happy with the fact that Hatch betrayed Miranda, but on this matter he did not defend Gorelick (yet), and the fact that some journalist said he did and then quoted Hatch calling for Gorelick to do the right thing is not evidence of Hatch defending her.

It doesn't do conservatives' credibility any good to overstate facts. The facts are on our side; we don't have to overstate them.

[cynicom]

I doubt if Kean ever asked her to resign, quietly or any other way. Kean is the best "democrat" on the panel. What a loser.

[VRWC_minion]

Asking her to resign is a stupid waste of time. Afterall, everyone knows only Republicans have to resign.

[rod1]

I absolutely agree. The prior commenter apparently thinks there are Bush bombshells to fall from the sky but forgets the DemocRATS long ago ran out of 9/11 ammo. Last time I looked Larry King is on every week night (one good reason CNN rating are plumetin) and the last thing he ever "pinned" must have been some sorority gal last century. Not going tohappen.

Furthermore, Gorelick may need to look for sanctuary with that terorist cleric in the Iraq mosque. Otherwise she is soon to become US public enemy number 1. And to think if Dashell had only stacked the committee with idiots and stonewallers instead of the actual Clintonian criminals, they migh have pulled this farce off. I love to see the Demos overreach.

[cynicom]

Republicans in congress are hard of hearing, mentally retarded, mute, and generally all around worthless.

[george wythe]

You're quoting a journalist's characterization of what Hatch said. I don't trust journalists' characterizations of anything.

The Washington Times usually portrays Republicans in a more favorable light than other papers, so I doubt that Hatch's intent was mischaracterized. On the other hand, reporters make mistakes all the time.

For the record, I did call Hatch's offices, both in Washington and Provo, to get a further clarification, but no body answered the phone; a voice recording picked up at both locations.

I agree with you that we should not overstate the facts. So far, we have an explicit call for Gorelick's resignation from Sensenbrenner, and an ambiguous statement from Hatch.

[mewzilla]

Wow. She'll stay until Toon tells her to go. Kean, if you think you're running this show, you're delusional.

[MamaLucci]

It's the disease called "Compromised".
