Democratic control of the House, with the inevitable ensuing subpoenas and investigations, will be a "good thing," ABC News veteran Sam Donaldson declared on Sunday's This Week. During a roundtable discussion on how Republicans are trying to scare their base into voting by warning of how liberals will take over key committee slots if Democrats will the House, Donaldson predicted: "What we'll see is subpoenas, if they take control, and these subpoenas will delve into every nook and cranny of the Republican administration for the last six years." That prompted Cokie Roberts to point out: "Well, now you're doing the Republican talking points, because that is exactly what the administration is making people fear." Donaldson wondered: "Why do you think I'm saying it's a bad thing?" And he made clear: "I think it's probably a good thing

Maybe it would be a good thing. If the GOP has done no wrong, they shouldn't be concerned. I would rather have the congress spinning their wheels on a bunch of nonsense going nowhere than have them in my life and my pocket and making more laws that only reduce the quality of my life, tax me, harass me or all of the above. If it turns out the GOP has something to be concerned about, I would like to see them get what they deserve.

The most surprising thing about this post is that Sam Donaldson is still alive.

[muawiyah]

Oh, gad, I don't need to be scared by the Republicans into voting ~ the Democrats have already done that.

I want a "tomorrow", so I'm going to make sure my Republican vote counts.

And here I had thought Donaldson was dead.

You know, Sam is right. There is a cover-up in Washington. And it's sitting right on his Vulcan spin-art skull. Quite frankly, I've never been able to pay attention to what he says because I keep waiting for that thing on the top of his head to get up on its hind legs and beg for a peanut.

[tobyhill]

It's politics and even if they've done nothing wrong it has a tendency to stain the innocent.

[paul51]

Oh. I see. It's all very complicated.

Sam's eyebrows are growing into his skull and tickling his tiny brain.

As JFnK would say to nuanced for idiots to understand.

If the Rats get Subpoena power they will not use it to immediately get someone because they know they can't, it will merely be to build a record for the '08 elections.

Subpoena's , Investigations, Sure they are good things for journalists. They can fill their rags with horsecrap.

If things are going good they have nothing to write about.

Sure Sam wants these subpoena's. Also when the Iraqui's start slaughtering each other wholesale and Iran starts moving into Iraq, When they bomb Israel. all good for the news people.

Didnt Hearst say, "You provide the pictures, I will supply the war?"

This is about what Sam Donaldson is saying and what he is trying to do.

I'm sure they will be able to multitask for tax increases for the "rich" and greater regulation of "nasty" big corporations. Heck they may even stop global warming, with your help! And you life will be much freer, you will be able to get an abortion whenever you want. You will be able to marry whoever or whatever you want and your quality of life will go up because they will give "FREE" healthcare. /S

As the typical senate politician, he should know. We should give all those geniuses a raise. It's hard to find and keep good people like that who can keep the rest of us morons from harming ourselves.
