Enlighten me - Lieberman won't persue what happened during Katrina - does that mean NO investigation

[helderheid]

?

Can't OTHER Dems investigate???

[meegbear]

1. Yep ...

He's in control.

[helderheid]

3. so NO ONE else can start investigations? That seems crazy.

[aquart]

4. I keep telling myself there has to be some way in which this man

is not hateful. He's not a public servant. He's Georgie's body slave.

[LeftishBrit]

15. There is just one way!

He was Cheney's opponent for Vice President and by rights defeated him. And anyone is better than Cheney.

Apart from that, just that there'll presumably be more room for him up Bush's arse, once Blair retires.

[uppityperson]

7. so no other can start investigating?

sorry to double check again, but not one other?

[helderheid]

8. I keep thinking the same thing!

[meegbear]

10. He's the chairman ...

Lieb is the head of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. And as chairman, he decides what gets investigated. QED.

Me thinks the little bitch needs to be taken off the committee, but he'll do his 'party switch' threat and stay on. The fucker shouldn't have been given a chair to begin with.

2. The United States in no way cares about what happened or happens

to Louisiana, never has, never will.

[dysfunctional press]

5. LIEberman is the insurance industry's bitch...

anything that might put them in a bad light or threaten their cash flow cannot be allowed the light of day.

[Gold Metal Flake]

6. Lieberman has a job to do.

It's why the Publicans put him into the Senate in November.

[rubberducky]

9. I find it very hard to believe that there is

not one person in all of congress that cannot bring about an investigation into NOLA. This does not even make any kind of sense. Whoever the senator or rep that begins inquiries into Katrina, will have the vast amount of people in the US behind them.

[helderheid]

absolutely agreed

[seemslikeadream]

11. Lieberman, the only senator mentioned by bush

in his speech Wednesday

[spanone]

22. Wasn't that amazing....and it's not about politics. bwahahahahaaa

[shance]

12. It's time to indict the white privileged "gentlemen" destroying our infrastructure

n/t

[shance]

13. Lieberman to Americans - FUCK YOU***

n/t

[KharmaTrain]

14. The House Investigates, Not The Senate

Bennie Thompson is the head of the House Homeland committee...and Henry Waxman will be running hearings on the sweetheart contracts for both Iraq and Katrina.

Lieberman means little in this matter.

[helderheid]

16. I'm heaving a huge sigh of relief

[Benhurst]

18. Thanks, KharmaTrain, for making the post I thought I was going to

have to make.

[uppityperson]

19. thank you.

[rubberducky]

23. Thank you sooo much for posting this!

I was beginning to feel a mighty migraine coming on!!

[meldroc]

24. That's a huge relief.

Lieberman might be playing roadblock in the Senate, but if enough dirt can be dug up in the House, Lieberman will look like an asshole for not doing his job.

It feels soooooo good to finally have some functioning checks and balances again.

17. Time to start a recall effort in Connecticut?

[NewJeffCT]

20. No recall law here in CT

and, I don't think federal offices can be recalled, anyhow.

[OregonBlue]

21. So there is no way to correct a mistake in CT? Did the CT dems

and republics realize when they elected him that he would NOT investigate Katrina?

[Zhade]

25. lieberman is a scumbag who doesn't care about black people.

Or white people, or brown, or ANYONE affected by the most devestating storm in that area in, like, forever.

FUCK HIM!

And fuck you cowards who voted for and/or enabled him!
