1. Thanks Whome

I caught the brief House Judiciary smackdown of Rep Conyers request to get docs on the Plane/Rove case.

Tuned in now.

2. Be sure to take your

blood pressure meds first.

Mine's rising by the second.

3. Rohrabacker is a major dick!

He is making the idiotic argument that the intel provided by Tenet was 'Democrat' intel because Tenet was a 'democrat' appointee to CIA Chief.

Oh, and 9/11. And terrorism. Oh and 9/11. You commie pinko bastard wussy liberal bastards.

4. My head's spinning from the

"all this information is readily available to you people if you only asked for it, and if it isn't available you can't see it" argument.

Yoiks. How do people like Conyers do this day after day???

[TayTay]

6. I know.

But this is a very smart move on Conyers part to have this quesiton handled in 4 different comms today. Very smart.

Remember, it's the accountability, baby! There is one consistent thread that goes through the Bush Admin: they are not accountable to anyone and Congress refuses to do their job and investigate when things go wrong. This goes from 9/11 all the way through to Katrina.

7. So what do you

think the reverberations will be? I imagine the one-track media is overstretched with covering Roberts and Katrina. Do you think it will get play? Who is the audience for this (aside from us obsessive democrats)?

8. It is to keep up the drumbeat on the 'thugs

These people are hiding something. They don't want anyone peeking under the rug and seeing just what is going on in either Congress of the * Admin.

Just keep beating that drum. Accountability, responsibility and what are they hiding from the taxpayers.

[whometense]

9. It's totally to their credit

(the dems, I mean) that they are keeping up the intensity level as well as the drumbeat. The rethugs can keep on chiding them for their shrillness, but it sounds like the sweet music of righteous fury to me.
