April 30, 2004 -- In a stunning snub, two Democrats on the 9/11 commission yesterday abruptly walked out in the middle of the Oval Office interview with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Both early-departing panelists, former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey and ex-Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, insisted they had prior commitments - but their sudden slip out the side door of the White House left Washington and some fellow commission members in shock.

Sen. Bob Kerrey and ex-Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton

How dare these DemocRAT rectum orifices treat the President of The United States so rudely.

Honestly, I can't even get worked up over this one. The Chairman excused them (Kerrey for certain, anyway), so any criticism should be leveled at Kean, not Kerrey or Hamilton. But it sounds as if it was handled appropriately.

This walkout was a gift. It discredited two of the most partisan Democrats on the Commission and guaranteed that the story over the next couple of days would be their silly walk-out, not any potential "gotcha" from the meeting. I am sure the President was only too happy to see them leave early.

Stategery...

"Commissioners were searched by hand for weapons before they stepped into the Oval Office..."

Kean and Gorelick volunteered to strip search each other.
