When your contemptible, don’t be surprised if you’re treated with contempt.

[umgud]

Conyers is contemptable.

[skinkinthegrass]

Rove, Should just tell 'em, "G* T* HELL & K!$$ My @$$!"

[MovementConservative]

Can’t say they are a do nothing congress. They hold grandstanding hearings that accomplish nothing all the time.

[VeniVidiVici]

The panel is investigating the politicization within the Justice Department and had subpoenaed Rove to testify before the subcommittee next Thursday.

Is this "politicization" the Democrats are squealing about now the firing of the few US attorneys?

He (Bush) should have fired them all as Clinton did.

Nice guys finish last.

[sinanju]

Now that they’re in charge however, said hearings are no longer being held in the broom closet.

[hsalaw]

Now that they’re in charge however, said hearings are no longer being held in the broom closet.

Changing the venue doesn't make them any less pointless, useless, and stupid. I guess when they waste their time like this, they're not making life miserable for the rest of us with more idiotic laws.

FYI: The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, John Conyers Jr of Michigan, is a signer of the Revolutionary Communist Party call to "Drive Out the Bush Regime".

Click on the WCW link just below and see: "Endorsers of the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime Include". Conyers' endorsement appears right after Ward Churchill's. Al Sharpton's, Maxine Waters and Jesse Jackson Jr's endorsements are also on the list:

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us or rwor.org) :
"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning. And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

Here's the Revolutionary Communist Party (see link below) boasting of a FULL PAGE 'World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime' ad of theirs which appeared in the New York Slimes. (either "rwor.org" or "revcom.us" takes you to the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party). The NY Times has since allowed several additional full-page RCP/WCW ads.

This is what happens when Republicans act like a bunch of wussies.

This behavior thrives when we don't charge Democrats with treason when they act like cheerleaders for failure in the war on terror.

A portion of the Republican party has been successfully emasculated by whining liberals.

[sinanju]

Unfortunately this is setting a banana-republic style precedent wherein all officials of the previous administration can expect to be persecuted and prosecuted by their political opponents.

[smithone]

Thanks for the links, very scary.

[tina07]

Karl looked all nervous about it on Hannity & Colmes tonight..NOT

[ETL]

The guy needs to be investigated already. I’ve been posting this stuff far and wide for years. And all of it is STILL up on their websites. I have similar stuff on House Ways and Means chair, Charlie Rangel. See my FR home page for the info and links.

Dear House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) :

[Godwin1]

Conyers represents a constituency of America-haters and Moslems—think Reverend Wright. He is out to get anyone who defends America and opposes Islamic terror. He is a poster child for the disloyal wing of the modern democratic party.

[Liberty Valance]

ROFLMAO!!!

[John123]

they could move to hold Rove in contempt of Congress

What exactly does this entail? Has ANYONE ever been held in contempt of Congress? Anyone knows?

[Incorrigible]

[smithone]

I’m fairly certain that some people have been accused of comtempt of Congress but I have no idea what happens to them. I don’t think Congress has any judicial powers but I don’t know for sure.
