GORELICK SCANDAL - What they were saying three weeks ago....

(What they were saying three weeks ago about Condi Rice):

"I would like to have her testimony under the penalty of perjury," said the commission's chairman, Thomas H. Kean

"But there's another whole dimension here, and that dimension is the public dimension -- and I think the American public would benefit from hearing (her) testify under oath." - Lee Hamilton

"Voluntarily coming forward to testify under oath during a public hearing without the use of a subpoena would simply set a rare, refreshing, and appropriate moral precedent for all of history to judge." - The 9/11 Families Steering Committee

"(She) ought to find 60 minutes to speak to the commission under oath.... The secretary of state, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the undersecretary of state.... go up there and raise their right hand and talk under oath to make America safer. We're talking about the security of our country." - John F. Kerry

"Why won't she testify under oath before the 9/11 Commission? Doesn't she owe that to us as an officer of the United States government? She's a liar. She lied twice in "The Washington Post" op-ed. I'm sorry. She's a proven liar. She should testify under oath." - Paul Begala

"(She) should testify to set a moral precedent that is aptly warranted by the murder of 3,000 people." - The 9/11 Families Steering Committee

"The American public wants answers.... She ought to testify. She ought to testify under oath. This is about getting to the bottom of some very serious questions about what went on around Sept. 11 and why we didn't do a better job of preparing ourselves." - Terry McAuliffe

"The American public deserves to see in public under oath what she knew ahead of time." - Carrie Lemack (vice president of the Families of September 11 group)

(What they are saying now about Jamie Gorelick):

"People ought to stay out of our business" - Thomas H. Kean

Bumping myself.
Hey, this took an hour.

[Lancey Howard]

If anybody wants to add quotes that expose the hypocrisy, please do.

[ScaniaBoy]

Well done.

But where, oh where is the public outrage? Where are the 911 relatives? Where are the condemnations of Ms Gorelick?

But don't give up. Mail,fax, phone and write your Congressmen. It hurts them, trust me.

At the very least send this as an E-mail to either Gibson or Hume on Fox. It is a great piece of work.

[Lancey Howard]

I have a feeling that the commissioners have staffers who pull all the faxes and emails and, after checking for serious threats that might need FBI attention, simply throw them away.

And I agree. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

[gortklattu]

Well Done BTTT

[microgood]

Sounds like Ashcroft has spoiled all their fun. I am sure they are only flesh wounds.

[Lancey Howard]

Wow, thanks.
Ever since the Gorelick fiasco started last week, I have been thoroughly stunned at the glaring double standard. It was only three weeks ago that the Democrats and their liberal newsrooms across the country were screaming for Condi Rice to testify in public. But Gorelick? Where are the catcalls for her to testify?

It makes me sick to my stomach.

[Texasforever]

I was serious. John Gibson reads a lot of e-mails on his show at the end and I really think this would make the cut. Go for it.

[GeronL]

"Our business"??? I thought he worked for the American People....

and he was a Republican appointee!!!!!

[Lancey Howard]

I have never emailed anything to a news source before, but at your recommendation I sent this to John Gibson. Thanks for your post.

[MagnoliaMS]

At the very least send this as an E-mail to either Gibson or Hume on Fox. It is a great piece of work.

I agree, and am glad to see you have done so.

[nopardons]

bttt

[gogeo]

That really is a great piece of work.

[nightdriver]
