1. Do Louise and John deserve DU roses, too?

2. The CBC...Our Only Real Defenders

These people know what struggles are and to be disenfranchised. They still speak out and with truth and integrity on their side.

I know this is a stupid question to ask, but where is the House Democratic Leadership in helping push the Conyers probes onto a higher burner? Where's the DNC in getting these people seen and heard to a wider audience. There's no echo chamber here. Just silence.

3. Agree

aside, watched Conyers manage the S9 house floor debate this morning. Most who spoke on the Dem side were CBC. Impressed.

4. July, 1974...

I engineered at a public radio station that carried all of the Nixon hearings in the House. That's where I first heard John Conyers, Paul Sarbanes, Charlie Rangel, Elizabeth Holtzman and great Peter Rodino...doing a job they didn't want to do, but had to. They faced a young Helmethead Lott who felt a lie about sloppy sex was impeachable, but a criminal enterprise working inside the government was just "fayhne"...nothing's changed!
