THERE WAS NO COVER-UP (ABU GHRAIB)
MSNBC.com ^ | May 11, 2004 | Joe Scarborough

"As a political scandal, it's already over. Historians will disagree about the precise moment it turned into a damp squib. Perhaps it was when Democratic blowhard Joe Biden demanded of Don Rumsfeld: "What did he know and when did he know it?" Or perhaps it was when the Democrats' leader in the Senate, Tom Daschle, launched into a long, whiney complaint about why he and his colleagues hadn't been kept informed by the Pentagon. "Why were we not told in a classified briefing why this happened, and that it happened at all?" he huffed. "That is inexcusable; it's an outrage."

I think it was the moment we found out that 17 or so Democratic Reps and Senators knew about this MONTHS ago.

Well, we all know what Biden knew and when he knew it. It was after read it and then copied it. What a putz. If I ever saw him on the street, I doubt I could resist the temptation to bloody his nose and send him home to mamma.
