Ma'am you know I have been a loyal soldier since day one....but some days its not easy remaining loyal.

[Howlin]

Big time.

[Semi Civil Servant]

He didn't take any crap from the press, either. Bravo.

[onyx]

He's drawn the line.

[WINGED PEGASUS]

The President did a fine job.

[Pukin Dog]

Two mentions of Klieg lights. I LOVE it.

[California74]

They (Leahy) already have demanded that they testify under oath.

Check on the other thread. I linked to further info on the Sandy Burgler issue

[Txsleuth]

NO...he isn't backing down.

He will let AG and his staff testify..and he is releasing all communications between the White House and Justice dept.

He will NOT let Rove, Miers and others on his staff be sworn in....just interviewed.

If the Dems want MORE...he won't let it happen.

Ugh...Judge Napalitano..just said that Bush CAN'T keep Rove and them from having to submit to subpoenas...even if it goes to the Supreme Court..

[I see my hands]

If you've been waiting for red meat.. this is as red as is going to be served.

I hope so too, Ken, but Clinton made a lot of them civil servants as he walked out the door and those people can 't be summarily fired.

[mystery-ak]

Brits panel was WRONG last night!....and I am loving it!

[pollyannaish]

Ok, so he's a wimp if he doesn't defend himself.

And he's Clintonesque when he does?

Bwahahaha. You must be with the press.

[Howlin]

In the proverbial sand.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

I am so tired of Judge Napolitano. Really like the guy, but don't agree with him much anymore.

[Chena]

Gotta jump in here too, Howlin, to say that President Bush's statements were excellent!! BRAVO, Mr. President!!!

[cbkaty]

The President has now done exactly what he should have done long ago....See...this is a Bush trait...waiting until damage has been done before taking positive action.

Personally, I wish he had fired all the left over Clinton AGs when he took office.

It is a good thing that he has "finally" publicly supported the AG.

[Howlin]

Won't work for who, him?

[Peach]

I'm so behind on this story I'll never get caught up, but thanks for that recap.
