"We are committed as well to the integrity of our work

A similar statement was made by the Iraq U.N. inspectors.

Who is this Thomas Kean RINO???

"None of our votes have been cast on partisan lines," . . .

WTF. I didn't know the committee was "voting."

[Humal]

"DeLay echoed Sensenbrenner's complaints, saying if Gorelick "enhanced and helped formalize the very policies that may have created barriers to preventing the 9-11 attacks, a profound conflict of interest would appear to exist."

Today, Rush read another article about a classified document also by Gorelick found by Mark Levine. It can be found at http://www.nationalreview.com/levin/levin200404151634.asp

Hope it's O.K. to link to National Review On-Line.

Let's hope that some of this sticks and the commission is disbanded as phony.

[Starve The Beast]

So, when the headline says:

Republicans Clash Over 9/11 Panel

... and then that statement is clarified in the first sentence by...

"Two leading congressional Republicans on Friday accused the commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks of descending into partisan finger-pointing..."

It isn't really the Republicans clashing, now is it? More like the Republicans pointing out that the 9/11 commission is hopelessly partisan.

This headline is hopelessly partisan, but seeing as how it's from Reuters, it can't possibly be intentional...

[jmstein7]

I guess DeLay got our letters :)

[Humidston]

Hmmmm... I'm starting to wonder if Jamie owns knee pads.

[potlatch]

Kean is 'keen' to keep his job!!

But Thomas Kean, the Republican chairman of the panel, defended its work and denied politics played any role.

rotflmao. Stop it Tom you're killing me!
Let's see, it's an election year, and we have a bunch of politicians getting LOTS of media coverage and Kean says there's no politics! Riiiight.


I may have been born at night..but it wasn't last night.

But Thomas Kean, the Republican chairman of the panel, defended its work and denied politics played any role.

This commission is a farce. If Kean can't see that he and this "commission" have no credibility whatsoever, then he is a fool. Personally, I think he and the rest of the has-beens on the "committee" just like to grandstand and get their names in the paper. Why else would they even bother to continue with this pathetic joke? Nobody cares anymore. It's clearly a political witch-hunt, and most people have laughed it off by now.

I am now more concerned with how much of my tax money is being wasted every day on this ongoing idiocy?

[jerod]

Who the heck picked this pussy Thomas Kean to be the Republican Chairman?

This nitwit seems to be more supportive of the sleazy DemocRATic tactics, than a bonafide DemocRAT would be. He makes at least one stupid statement a week that leaves you wondering if he switched parties at some point, and forgot to tell the Republican Leadership before they appointed him.

And why is this always the case with Republicans? DemocRATs appoint attack dogs and Republicans appoint pushovers. The only reason they probably appointed Kean was because Jack Kemp, the master of non-partisan ignorance, must have been too busy to participate.

The most pathetic non-action by this fool was allowing people to clap during testimony. That made me want to puke, and it’s supposed to be his job to bang the hammer and request order. He couldn’t even figure that out, so the man must be a complete idiot and fool to boot.

[jerod]

I just figured it out. Hillary has his FBI file.

I guess he'd hate to have those pictures of him cross-dressing out in public. So Ben Venom-nista says jump and he says how high.

Bill & Hill took very little heat over taking those files and the info they gained just keeps paying and paying.

The 9/11 commission ranks right up there with Barnum and Bailey. The only thing missing is a ticket booth.

Kean gave the finger to everyone by saying "stay out of our business"...he is one HIDEOUS Repubican. I EXPECT Democrats to be awful....I don't expect Pubbies to be.

[HammerLane]

DeLay is a 3 dollar bill.

[nmh]

Will REPUBLICANS EVER GET IT?

WHY, oh WHY must they defend the adversary and feel self righteous about it? It appears they get off on being ridiculous. Get rid of her and consider investigating HER.

[Godfollow]

Here's a deal the dems might go for... We'll kick Thomas Kean in the teeth, and you kick Gorlich off the panel...
