I was afraid of that. But I liked the sentiment anyway.

I'm with Barton.

Making this a government investigation invites CBS to wrap itself in the cloak of a 1st Amendment warrior, and the angle would be played out from that perspective from that point forward.

Right now, the issue isn't allegations against Dubya (no matter how hard the talking heads are trying), the issue is CBS and its shoddy professionalism.

All by itself, the story appears to get better by the hour. We don't need a congressional investigation.

"fellow Republican Joe Barton (Texas) rebuffed Cox's demand, saying an investigation "hardly seems appropriate or necessary.""

However, it was totally appropriate for them to hold an investigation over Fox News and brow beat an owner of a radio station for refusing to play the Dixie Chicks.

I wonder when the republican leadership will quit being cowards and finally put a boot in their butts.

Actually a good strategy is to have back and forth hand wringing on whether a congression enquiry is in order (don't do one though ) just to keep the press hot on it and ensure the CBS fraud play in the forefront of news stories for the next several weeks.
