I tend to believe the Spectator on this one. But with Waxman’s flat out denial (which isn’t a surprise), I hope the Spectator releases what the basis for their article was and the record is set straight, Waxman shown to be a liar, or the Spectator retracts its story.

Now Waxy has done it. Either he is lying or he failed to obey the demands of the nut log voter base he serves. One way or the other, he is going to get a snoot full!

But at least he doesn't have to worry about yanking out his hair!

Liberals want free speech. As long as they agree with what’s being said.

"No, we're not doing that at all!"

Translation: "Keep transcribing folks."

In his statement, Waxman called on the Spectator to "immediately retract the item and apologize for the confusion its fictitious report has caused."

Watch out, Spectator! Waxman's caught your scent!

I think Waxman got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and is trying to forestall any real implications into his behavior.

If this gets legs, might be time to get him out of Congress for that kind of fascism. We'll see.

http://www.house.gov/waxman/news_files/news_profiles_waxman_for_better_07_17_06.htm

Excerpt——”On this particular Tuesday, Brian Cohen is in his windowless warren, pulling together yet another report, this one on prescription costs for seniors in New York. Costco is beating the government’s new Medicare benefit by a long shot.

In his previous life, Cohen, 38, was an MIT scientist; here, he is the quintessential Waxman staffer. He could double his salary in the private sector. Instead, he works at a desk just big enough for a computer, a family picture and a banana. He says he does it because he believes he’s performing a public service.

Though most staff research is issued in the congressman’s name, this report will be released under the name of Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Democrat from New York; Waxman won’t be mentioned.

It is an idea the congressman came up with to expand his reach while in the minority. Any lawmaker in Congress can request a study tailor-made for a particular district. Waxman’s staff plugs in local figures; the same model can produce as many as 100 different analyses. Local newspapers usually pick them up and a spotlight is trained on an issue the White House or majority party prefers not to highlight. Cohen has done close to 1,000 of them.”——

Waxman was referring to a report Monday that he "has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows"

Parsing his words, I suspect that the investigation is based on something else other than the transcripts from their shows. Maybe tapes. Or maybe it's just Limbaugh he's investigating. In any event, you can bet that Waxman's comment is a lie in some regard.

I strongly suspect Waxman is raising hell with his own staff right now about the leak that forced him to lie....(chuckle)

He lobbed it into The American Spectator court. Time to lob back at him with their sources.

What Waxman is accused of is an abuse of power. Time to get him under oath.

I notice that all three hosts names end with a letter greater than “G”. I guess that means Hillary doesn’t have their FBI files in the A-G collection she kept from the Clinton White House years...

I see Sandy Berger, master criminal thief has just been hired on the Hillary political team. Since 9/11 haven’t the American people suffered enough without more political thuggery?

Maybe someone in his staff said it because they thought it was true? Waxman really doesn’t have a dog in the fight since he didn’t vote in the last Fairness Doctrine Resolution.

I am not in favor of ad hominem attacks but I am compelled to say that every time I see a picture of Henry Waxman I think of the “bar scene” in Starwars.
