RELEASE THE DOCUMENTS

Uh, John. Chill.

[Fred Mertz]

But hiding and stonewalling almost always fail. It is always better to release everything and move on.

Clinton never released his medical records, Bush should continue to hide his paperwork.

[G.Mason]

"Uh, John. Chill."

Exactly.

Shall we go back and re-open "Whitewater"?

After all, that was a mere 10 years ago or so?

As with a "mis-fire" in a gun, the shooter waits 30 seconds and clears the weapon.

Not that President Bush should give a RAT'S arse what this guy says, but I can't help but wonder if the author roared when Bill and Hillary hid and/or shred documents related to their mirad of problems?

Is it just me, or, do these articles posted here at FR have an overtone of such glee?

[WyldKard]

He makes good points. If the guys don't have anything to hide, they should defuse the situation post haste, and make it a complete and total non-issue for the Democrats.

Lets face it..just because these guys aren't Democrats doesn't make them sweethearts. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue, but it seems very fishy to me that Cheney was CEO of Haliburton, yet remained unaware of them changing their accounting practices, and not saying anything for a year. Maybe I heard the story wrong.

If the Republicans really think that politicians should be held up to a higher standard (They should), then it's time to put their money where thir mouth is...

"Is it just me"

It must just be you. To most of us, watching this administration do the same things as the previous bunch of scum and criminals is just plain sad.

This issue would be a perfect job for Ken Starr's talents.

Stand alone posting for more readers :-)

It's awful hard to fight the logic in this article, but some will try.

"He makes good points. If the guys don't have anything to hide, they should defuse the situation post haste, and make it a complete and total non-issue for the Democrats"

Exactly.

[rdb3]

The poster doth protest too much, methinks. . .

Lastly, that "most" you speak of is pure hyperbole.

[Axenolith]

It's awful hard to fight the logic in this article, but some will try.

I believe the administrations reason for the intransigence on these issues is to prevent the precedence from being set for walking all over executive privledge. Personally, I'd like to see it out just to see the democRATS shut up about it. The presidents logic better be good because the reasons for not doing it don't make for good 15 second sound bites during an election cycle...

[beckett]

I've got a better idea. Why doesn't Le Boutillier "totally lockdown" his consistently self-absorbed, sensationalistic and unbalanced observations and spare the rest of us from his opinions.

[rdb3]

No, beckett! Let 'em use his columns and others.

There's a method to this madness that is playing out before our very eyes.

Let them continue.

[MurryMom]

LeBoutillier makes lots of good points. Unfortunately, the expert stock price manipulators, Bush and Cheney, have each made their piles of money in the market and are totally uninterested in preventing the market meltdown taking place now. Until other Repukie pols take up LeBoutillier's cry, the former HEC and HAL execs will continue to stonewall reasonable inquiries into their past.

With my money, I've bet that the market is still headed south. When the DJIA reaches the 6000's, it might be worthwhile to start nibbling at a few bargains like DUK, AA, and JNJ.

[Pokey78]

Don't tell me; he's gone off LeBout's gone off the deep end again?

[Pokey78]

Sorry for the double 'gone off's.

"non-issue for democrats"

I hardly think so, somewhere, somehow a d-rat will find a syllable that he can expound on. Better yet, those writing opinions on the elected should peruse their own backgrounds making sure a 'skeleton' doesn't reside in their closet. e.g.Terry McAuliffe and his merry band of D-rats.

To most of us, watching this administration do the same things as the previous bunch of scum and criminals is just plain sad.

Some of you would argue that since Clinton so thoroughly trashed the notion of executive privilege, it should never be used again by anyone, anywhere, and at anytime.
