Nixon's White House re: Congressional investigations at that time.

(From today's live comments by Mr. Bush on the Gonzales/US Attorney affair.)

1. Let's hope the comparisons to Watergate do not end here.
Let's hope they continue, right up to Bush resigning in disgrace, and leaving office early.

2. This guy is not only evil but also fucking phsycho
This entire statement was to try and scare the democrats in to submission. From his entire tone and body language he was pretty much saying to congress "bring it on mother fuckers, you can't stop me".

This guy is bat shit crazy, democrats we elected need to act quick to get this guy out of there before its too late. If he wont listen to congress whats stopping him from listening to the supreme court?

4. There wouldn't be fishing expeditions if there weren't fish.
This from a man who once said "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully".

6. The GOP has NO SHAME
After their 70 MILLION dollar fishing expedition to GET Clinton they have the balls to accuse Dems of fishing when they LIED to Congress? Gonzales said they planned on getting Senate confirmation for the prosecuters yet E-mails show they had no such intention. There is enough corruption in this administration to inspire admiration from a tin horn dictator. I think even Khadaffis is saying, wow these guys are really corrupt.
