"Oh, it's better than that. When I was on the Hill on Tuesday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) told us (on the record) the rest of the story. Apparently, Pelosi's final come-back to the president was the following:
PELOSI: He's tried this two times — it's failed twice. I asked him at the White House, 'Mr. President, why do you think this time it's going to work?'

BUSH: Because I told them it had to.

PELOSI: Why didn't you tell them that the other two times?"

And it's only just begun, people O DU/GD.

From Congressman John Conyers, Jr.:
"I am pleased to report that the Judiciary Committee held its first organizational meeting today and we are up and running.  It was the first Committee activity in which I was the Chair and I felt humbled and honored by the experience.
We also announced our first hearing, an oversight hearing, a week from today at 10:15a entitled: Presidential Signing Statements under the Bush Administration: A Threat to Checks and Balances and the Rule of Law?"

And in the Senate:
"On Tuesday, January 30th, U.S. Senator Russ Feingold will chair a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing entitled, “Exercising Congress’s Constitutional Power to End a War.”"

Damn, it feels good to be a Demster.

7. That was in the Senate.

Not enough votes to override a filibuster and stuff. So, we have to hit the phones and they have to try again. The problem of course are all of the damn publican anti-worker amendments pushing tax cuts for the rich.

We all knew the Senate would be a problem in this way, but we still got the committees.

Dana Milbank wrote about this revelation from the Libby trial (via Kos):

"Memo to Tim Russert: Dick Cheney thinks he controls you.

This delicious morsel about the "Meet the Press" host and the vice president was part of the extensive dish Cathie Martin served up yesterday when the former Cheney communications director took the stand in the perjury trial of former Cheney chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

Flashed on the courtroom computer screens were her notes from 2004 about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq's nuclear ambitions. Option 1: "MTP-VP," she wrote, then listed the pros and cons of a vice presidential appearance on the Sunday show. Under "pro," she wrote: "control message."

"I suggested we put the vice president on 'Meet the Press,' which was a tactic we often used," Martin testified. "It's our best format." "
