When Clinton was in office we played by one set of rules. We criticized him for stonewalling and covering up. Now that Bush is going to continue the legacy, you guys change the rules and state Bush knows what he's doing. If you don't say that then you blame it on someone else like Burton. So far Bush hasn't had to be responsible for one thing since taking office. Eather those critical were unfair, it wasn't Bush's fault, someone else was to blame or another excuse was used. You guys are just another branch of the Clintonites. It's all the same.

Or you could just call Bush what you called him before.

Like me, you are not an objective observer of the Bush administration.

I'll be the first Bush supporter to criticize ONCE we know the specifics and what this entails. There is, and always has been, "executive privilege." The fact that the DEMS ran roughshod over it during Watergate doesn't mean that it does not still apply.

As I recall, many of the executive privilege cases raised during the Clinton administration were in fact adjuged by the Supreme Court to be "executive privilege."

Finally, as a matter of pure partisanship, I think that it is clear that the Dem Senate is going to try to use this to harass Cheney, then go after other cabinet members, despite the ABSENCE of any wrongdoing. The bottom line is that like it or not, the Independent Counsels did NOT indicte Clinton, Hildebeast, or any of their cohorts. To continue to pursue these like you are going to "learn something that will finally get the attention of the American people" is just plain dumb.

Are you really claiming that Congress has full oversight of the Executive, or that the Executive Branch has some responsibility to be totally transparent different from other branches?

Let's find the scandal diminsions before we have the inquisition, shall we.

How is it you're comparing EP to cover up crimes with EP to deny information about how the prosecutors decided not to prosecute. How are they the same?

Thank you!!! You have been a voice of consistancy and reason through this all. True to form, these kool-aid kids are making excuses. Im sure Bill Kristol is behind this too. Its time to let these clowns go and continue to fight, with or without the GOP cheer squad.
