They can't get over the fact Bush still won the election.

Was a crime committed? This current breed of RATS isn't long on History -- but, Bobby Kennedy had Jimmy Hoffa prosecuted for being in possession of stolen documents from the Senate Select Committee known as the McClellan Committee. Just ask Ted Kennedy, he'll confirm it, or someone in his office will. Or check out Bobby Kennedy's THE ENEMY WITHIN -- RFK details how he set Hoffa up with the documents just so he could have Hoffa arrested.

Dang if this isn't the most plausible analysis to date. Good for you!

[ladyinred]

I thought the same thing to when I heard it had been leaked to CBS. I also think the attack today by the RATS smells very strongly of Hillary Clinton herself.

[usconservative]

Alcee Hastings, an impeached Florida judge.

Cynthia McKinney, who believes the "mother wheel" in space is coming to get her some day.

What do they both have in common? Both are members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

I posted on another thread that McKinney was the "trial balloon" for the "Bush knew" theory, and that anyone who tried refuting her would be called a racist.

Now your analysis which reveals that Hastings and McKinney serve on the same committee, and she could've been fed, or had access to, some internal memo.

Gotta tell ya, you're brilliant. Good job!

There was another post this morning about Gephart blasting Bush for prior knowledge of 9/11.A reporter pointed out that House democrats were briefed,too.Gephart changed his tack.This will be in the news for a couple of days and fade away just like Enron......I hope. The dems have shown us that they will do anything to discredit the Administration.

[VaBthang4]

I wondered who it was. I am shocked to hear that it would be a bitter Liberal from FLA....I mean that is way out of left field.

CBS is still harking on it.

Thanks Trueblack...

FELONS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE... WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO HOLD OFFICE?

[ClancyJ]

I demand that McKinney be removed from the intelligence committee or any other committee receiving confidential security briefings. She is funded by terrorists groups and if the Democrats do not take her off these committees - she and they are responsible for any future terrorist attacks on us.

[SkiBum]

And why shouldn't this memo be released? Do you prefer that the government keep embarassing information secret? IMHO most classified material is so designated to cover up government malefeasance or emabarassement.

[rockfish59]

they also must be getting good at pi$$ing up a rope!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Hastings or that Idiot from Florida, Graham.

Either way, the US Govt gets threats DAILY of hijackings of our airliners around the World. Daily. This "news" they released is a message they got from OBL from last year. It was not saying that 4 aircraft would be hijacked and flown into buildings. It was non specific, could take place anywhere in the World for any reason (such as in exchange for release of political prisoners).

Just an attempt but the sick people in America to trash President Bush.

[nutmeg]

Very interesting, Trueblackman. I'll try to bump this thread.

[Registered]

They can't get over the fact Bush still won the election

Actually, they can't get over the fact that he's poised to win again.

[nutmeg]

FYI

[lexington minuteman 1775]

alcee? LOL. He was impeached as a judge. Now THERE is a great source for a story.

[PhilDragoo]

Bumping for incisive analysis.

Democrats think they have a smoking gun, but actually they've just been smoking crack.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

You may be on to something...but all this is is the latest in increasingly desperate and hysterical attacks by the party that is now absolutely certain that it HAS LOST the Senate and HAS LOST House seats -- and in mid-terms when the party out of power NEVER LOSES.

That is why their rank desperation has risen to sheer insanity.

They're only making it worse, and assuring that their defeat will be even more resounding and devastating than if they'd quietly been a dignified and truly loyal opposition.

I'm really crying for them......not.

[browardchad]

From the Washington Post:

U.S. District Judge Alcee L. Hastings was convicted by the Senate (in 1989) of engaging in a "corrupt conspiracy" to extort a $150,000 bribe in a case before him, marking the first time a federal official has been impeached and removed from office for a crime he had been acquitted of by a jury.

Hastings's conviction was reversed by a U.S. district judge in 1992 – two months before his election to Congress. Judge Stanley Sporkin said that Hastings should have been tried by the full Senate and not by a special 12-member committee, which convicted him on corruption charges. It was the first time a Senate conviction was overturned by a federal judge. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Jan. 1993 that federal courts had no authority to review the procedures of a Senate impeachment trial. But the decision had no effect on Hastings' congressional career, which continues to this day.

As I recall, Hastings case was thrown out because the wiretap on the perp (whom Hastings called to solicit a bribe)was thrown out. So a Federal judge overturned his Congressional conviction, just in time for his swearing-in, and a year later the SCOTUS ruled that a Federal judge couldn't overturn a conviction -- but Congress did nothing. Orrin Hatch, by the way, voted to acquit Hastings.

[rdb3]

Way to lay it down, bruh.

[Future Useless Eater]

leaked this to CBS to make Bush look foolish

CBS is owned by Viacom, Inc. and has a very strong anti-Republican agenda.
Remember, this is the same company that edited the Hillary video, changing background BOO's to Cheers...
The same company short-circuited Senate influence peddling laws by ADVANCING Hillary her multi-million dollar book deal...

I hope all of you here remember to boycott

• over 6000 Blockbuster Video stores,
