Let's all remember that Denny is on CENTRAL TIME and the press conference will be later than what the press thinks. Last week it came to my attention that most of the broadcast media have not mastered time zones.

I hope he has decided that if Pelosi won't take Freeh, he is going to nominate someone worse for their side.

I hope so to....

On Fox News they are showing Denny getting ready to give a speech at some get together in Illinois.

I doubt if he would be doing that if he were going to resign..

I just think there is TOO much evidence that this was a calculated "revelation" for ANY Republican to back down...they need to hammer home the demand that ALL be investigated..especially any DEM in leadership.

Maybe Ken Starr?? LOL!

I still don't understand what say Pelosi should have in this except that Denny is trying to be *nice* The Pubbies need to start understanding that the Dims do NOT play nice and would NOT give Pubbies the same opportunities if the situation was reversed. I don't know all about how this should work, but it seems to me that Hastert is the duly elected Speaker of the House, and, if he wanted to, could just say here is how the investigation will work and here's who is going to run it.

Pelosi et al don't want to go under oath (she's already said she wouldn't). I suspect no one but Fitzgerald, Gorelick, Reno, or Ben Venista will work for them.
