TPMCafe: Party of (Feeble) Opposition
I think Josh nailed it on this one... How disappointing. Who didn't show up? Let's contact them and ask why!

Party of (Feeble) Opposition
By Josh Marshall | bio
From: Politics
I hate having to admit that I was naive. But perhaps I do. I get the sense that the Senate Democrats just aren't serious about this whole opposition party idea.

I was on the road most of the afternoon. And when I got back online I was greeted with a stack of emails with some surprising news.

You'll remember that Karen Hughes was on the hill today for the confirmation hearing for her new posting. And given that there's been a bit of attention (had you noticed?) to the administration's dirty hands on using phoney claims about Iraqi uranium purchases and subsequent efforts to cover it up, this was quite a good opportunity to ask Hughes some pointed questions for the record, under oath.


There's what happened in October 2002 with the 'Cincinnati speech', what happened with the January 2003 State of the Union, and of course everything tied to the eventual battle with Joe Wilson.

1. Well, if this doesn't get them pissed, then nothing will.
LA Times Describes Nominee Roberts Advising Jeb Bush How to Declare George the Winner in Case Gore Wins Recount

Take a good look at this reporters name. He'll be writing for the alternative press soon. The LA Times is owned by the Chicago Tribune Company, you know the paper that won't allow one its best and longest tenured columnists to write a column on election fraud. This was a "break through" element of truth from CM (Corporate Media).

I'm a Yellow Dog Democrat from birth. I support them and work for them. I am totally disgusted at the response to Roberts.

What is their major malfunction?

Suggestions on how to steal an election when the vote doesn't go your way constitute UNACCEPTABLE behavior for a Supreme Court nominee.
