FLASH: Rep. Istook, R-Okla. was responsible for the insertion of the provision... Developing...

-- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Sunday that "accountability will be carried out" against whoever slipped a provision into an omnibus spending bill that would have allowed two committee chairmen to view the tax returns of any American.

Was is Istook, or one of his staff members? Earlier reports were that this action was taken by staff.

Is he planning on running for Senate somewhere, or knows someone who is and wants the returns?
Sure would like to see the Kerry family returns, but not like this.

If he had a backbone, he'd fire the troublemakers.

You take Matt Drudge hype for the truth?...... Now it maybe that there is something to the statement but until it's further examined I'd take anything Drudge says with a grain of salt..... It was mentioned sometime back that it was staffers that did the do so who knows.....

It's Sunday night and Drudge has a radio program about to air....

Probably some little Yalie on the staff. You know the type, fresh out of school, never held a real job before, think they know how to run everyones lives, etc. Washington is full of 'em. That's what Hillary was about 30 something years ago.

Bush is pushing tax reform, and Istook pulls this stunt. If Istook plays chicksh** tomorrow, heads should roll in his office, including his.

Whoever is responsible for it- here's hoping there's ACTUAL accountability.
