That's last year's list.
They are discussing this on Washington Journal now.
Harold Koh is on CSPAN right now.
OMG......I was thinking Jan. 20. Well, not thinking. I did know that the new Congress had started, but....stupidity in the morning. Sorry.
The 'Rats are fools if they try to rehash Pantygate and in effect offer sympathy for the terrorists while our young men and women are fighting in Iraq. It will be interesting to see which 'Rat Senators try to make political capital out of this and which decide not to.
So far the spin is predictable and callers are free to misrepresent. Now some female caller is upset that memos are being withheld, Koh is approving of the fact that memos have been leaked and thinks Gonzales would want them to come out.
I have an errand to run this morning so hope they break for lunch (I'm sure they will) around noonish their time, tennish my time---I really wanted to leave around nine, but fear this will be don't miss tv. Oh, good caller pointing out unconventional enemy we're fighting.
Duh. More coffee. I'm listening to Koh now telling us that we want our troops protected by the Geneva Conventions, which I am quite sure Bin Landen and his band of merry men have signed on to. If we are nice to them they will be nice to us.
Now, if you were stupid all of the time ... you too could someday be seated Left of Arlen Specter in that Committee!
There is no "if", that is exactly their plan.
It's sure to be a disgusting spectacle.
I keep remember the dems licking their chops when Rice and Ashcroft were to appear before the 9/11 Commission and Rice and Ashcroft handily won the day there.
I still can't believe Ashcroft was seriously asked about flying private planes before 9/11 and it turned out he had not, but the implication is tinfoil craziness.
Aren't you the funny one. NOT.
That's probably why the RATS have him up there. To "illustrate" that "it's OK to criticize Gonzalez, see, we have a Hispanic who's criticizing him. See, we aren't racists."
Lyin' RAT clymers.
Oops...didn't mean to offend.
I'm beginning to pick up the media's lastest "talking point" or is it "wishful thinking" -- that Bush is beginning to come around the Powell's way of thinking and maybe Powell shouldn't have left.
Not offensive to me; they ARE offensive though - in their complete double standard.
Whew ;-)
CSPAN just said Koh will be testifying today.
Oh, I see; the "right" kind of Hispanic.
Obviously I had scrolled right past the list posted at the beginning of the thread because Koh is listed right there!
