Requests were submitted by Reps. Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat and ranking member of the House Government Reform Committee, and Mark Souder, Indiana Republican and chairman of a Government Reform subcommittee.

I don't know Souder, but I know Waxman all too well. Doesn't surprise me in the least.

"To me, it is an affront to the Americans killed or injured in Iraq for the president to exploit the trappings of war for the momentary spectacle of a speech," said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, West Virginia Democrat.

He would say the same about the Gettysburg address.

Even Walker's not dumb enough to "investigate" this one.
