Is this really true? Are our hands tied?

Excerpt from the The New Yorker: Comment - News Hounds:

The non-Fox cable news outlets began to pick up on it last week; msnbc even assayed a special logo, “Gannongate.” A better name for it, though, would be “Nothinggate,” because nothing is what is likely to come of it. What all the memorable scandals of the past thirty years—real and fake alike, from Watergate to the Clinton impeachment—have had in common is that the opposition party controlled at least one house of Congress, which gave it the power to hold hearings and issue subpoenas. If Bush ends up having an easier time of it in his second term than any of his two-term predecessors since F.D.R., it won’t be because the scandals aren’t there. It’ll be because the tools to excavate them are under lock and key.

So what does it mean when the Dems write yet another requesting an investigation? http://rawstory.com/news/2005/index.php?p=117
Nothing at all????

1. It's illegal to lie to congress like SOTU 2003...

It would be fun to do a little lawsuit after he's finished.

That sounds like so much fun.

2. Posted my own thoughts, thank you for posting, Go Raw Story.

I love the statement concerning the public trust going negative on the paid for media questions.

3. If that is the case

then it makes 2006 all that more important.
