2. whether to take testimony under oath is up to the person...

...or committee, etc taking the testimony. Likewise, anyone can simply refuse to testify under oath-- then it's up to the persons seeking testimony to decide whether to compel an appearance or whether to take their testimony anyway.

on edit-- I like reply #1 better....

3. Uhm why do they stand in the sun and not burst in flames?

Or enter into rooms into uninvited or touch holy items and not scream ? The ways of the undead are not for the ways of living to know :D JK

4. They are not Bill Clinton

7. I am sure they may be saving the best for last.................

Once the impeachment proceedings begin, they will have no choice!

8. I have yet to hear any top Democrats call for them to go under oath....

In fact, I dont recall any top Democrats having a problem with them refusing to go under oath during the Iraq hearings either.

All I can tell ya is to keep spinning your wheels- "Why wont they go under oath and clear this up?" is a GREAT talking point, but dont expect Top Democrats to have your back on that one.

10. Depends on whether they got blowjobs or not

Presidents who get BJs have to be under oath. All others do not.

11. Nobody has Nailed Bush re: He Should Have Asked Rove Already

Nobody in the press or the opposition has held Bush's feet to the fire and asked him why he hasn't gotten a full explanation from Rove and Libby and Cheney. Because either he has and doesn't care or he hasn't because he craves plausible deniability.

The new frame (meme) is: Bush Failed to Fire Rove.

12. If they go before the Grand Jury they have to go under oath.

13. It Was The 9-11 Commission They Refused To Be Sworn At

When they testified as puppet and puppeteer.

Filthy traitorous bastards

14. I don't know the situation regarding

Kings and Queens but I take it they just don't have to.

[Patty Diana]

15. Who the fuck would believe them if they did, anyway??

God how I despise these bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paula777]

16. I don't think being under oath would keep them from lying

It's not like they really believe the religous stuff that they spout - that's just so the merican people find em likeable

[rock]

17. Duh. They'd have to tell the truth.

Come on. We can't have that!
