Are they after McKinney like they went after Gore?
RepubliCONs trumped THREE fabrications against Gore:
1. ...that Gore said he INVENTED the Internet... when Gore said IN CREATING, in, which he took initiative, as a Senator, which he did.
2. ...that Gore said he was part inspiration for the book "Love Story" ... which he was according to the author Erich Segal.
3. ...that Gore said HE (I) STARTED IT ALL about a famous dump: Love Canal ... when instead he said THAT STARTED IT ALL referring to a letter written by a teenager. (Gore was misquoted by the rabidly RW Washington Times.)
With three "lies" quickly presented a dim Dem blurted that something must be wrong with Gore, and the RepubliCONs went on to destroy our country.

NOW:
We have quick press releases about asking for a warrant nearly simultaneous in several papers. And, some budget expense surrounded by incendiary words.
CAREFUL, little details may be completely untrue. Did she get TWO LAWYERS? The story may come, and then disappear.

And, will Capitol Police still withhold release of the video? They promised they would...

1. Good analysis, but no - Gore had much more at stake.
That doesn't mean your analysis is wrong, only your analogy. They are definitely playing the race card here. It's 2006, an election year, and only the start.

2. We lost Gore and Kerry to slow responding.
Not just an analogy,
they did it to Gore,
they did it to Kerry, and
they're doing right now to McKinney.

I want the responses to be swift enough -- this time.

5. I recall they would not release it. With our MSM, who knows.
I remember thinking, gee, would they commit themselves to obstructing justice?

4. It's my understanding that
there is a video. The question is, who controls it, and have copies been made? I predict it will be released at a most inopportune time. Or rather leaked.

6. Only as THEY CUT it. And, welcome to DU.
That's if they aren't busy video toasting it.
