Hastert and Frist Agree to Hold Hearings on Katrina

[oasis]

They had a short statement on CNN. Joint committee hearings. Stay tuned.

1. They know they have no choice

I just hope they don't try to turn it into a circus or another 9-11 Whitewash Commission.

[oasis]

5. I demand that Boxer, Conyers and Waxman be on the committee.

[Brother Buzz]

7. Conyers and Waxman are representives

Can they be on the committee? I think they should be attacking DeLay for blocking the house's investigation.

[oasis]

9. The committee is to be made up of house and senate members.

[Brother Buzz]

11. Cool

Then I strongly recommend that Conyers and Waxman be placed front and center!!!! Oh, and Boxer, of course.

2. no thank you - IF it's another 911 ..why waiste time

3. It had better be independent or heads will ROLL. We won't take any crap

from these people any more. This is IT!

12. Chimpy won't do the picking of committee members. At least the ones

on the Dem side.

[DoYouEverWonder]

14. The only thing chimpy should be doing

is figuring out what color stripes he should wear today.

15. I wouldn't trust that idiot to pick his own nose

4. It must be a truly BI-PARTISAN investigation.

[Spazito]

6. Oh, my, poor Tom Delay

looks like his show of force yesterday just fizzled into pathetic poop.

Not that I would trust Frist and Hastert on anything but I do LOVE seeing Delay becoming inconsequential.

[oasis]

8. Rove most likely advised Chimpy to Call Hastert and Frist. The heat's on.

[Kagemusha]

10. - 6 months from now - no dems consulted

That's what I heard here and there anyway. So don't go saying they buckled under pressure. Please. Just don't. Thank you.

13. Those southern senators must be so angry. That gives the Dems

a majority on this issue.

[OneBlueSky]

16. NO NO NO! . . . any committee made up of congressmen or senators . . .

is a recipe for a whitewash . . . we need an INDEPENDENT commission made up of respected Americans who are NOT elected officials . . .
