"Bush's worst political nightmare..."

...Michigan Congressman could gain power, clout if Democrats can capitalize on Republican setbacks
Deb Price / The Detroit News

WASHINGTON -- As Republican election-year woes increase, symbolized powerfully Tuesday by the resignation from Congress of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, President Bush's worst political nightmare might be summed up by four words: Judiciary Chairman John Conyers.

If Democrats can capitalize on a string of GOP setbacks and regain control of the House this November, Conyers would be named chairman, putting the enormous investigative power that goes with the job into the hands of one of Bush's fiercest critics. But even with the House still under Republican control, the maverick Detroit Democrat known for championing liberal causes can no longer be written off by the Bush administration as just a pesky gnat.

The 21-term Michigan lawmaker's persistent demands for an inquiry into whether Bush should be impeached for the way he led the nation into war have exploded into the political mainstream.

1. That's why Tweety and De Lay were

bashing him.

That's why he needs to have armed guards all over him.


They have already started to attempt to marginalize my hero.

Goclark will NOT let them mess with John Conyers!!

Watch ~ here comes a Conyers scandal, it's already signed, sealed and delivered to Tweety.

5. Let's just hope the Capitol police continue to recognize him

-or that he's trained himself to either freeze or go limp when grabbed.

I sure hope he's wearing that jewelry!

13. If Bush had been a good boy, he wouldn't have to sweat even one

congressman or congresswoman posing a threat to his future.

But that 'if' is a really big 'if' in this case. Bushie, you're doin' a heckuva job.

Conyers is a treasure.

14. They'll say he has an "agenda", when in fact he has principles.

18. I am so scared, for so many reasons, for this November

I am overused to my team snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and with the help of BBV, I can easily imagine this hopeful time turning dark again in the fall.

But the idea of Judiciary Chairman John Conyers? Oh please oh please oh please. Just this one thing I ask, and then I will dedicate my life to clean livin'. I swear.
