Dobbs: 'Showdown' really a battle of partisan buffoons
By Lou Dobbs
CNN

NEW YORK (CNN) -- An incompetent attorney general, who says he wasn't fully aware that nearly 10 percent of the U.S. attorneys who work for him throughout the country were being fired and permitted the 110,000-person Justice Department that he leads to give inaccurate information at best, or simply lie about it at worst, to the Congress and the American people, has the full confidence of the president who's lost the confidence of most people.

And this is what passes for a big-time, dramatic, historic constitutional crisis in 21st century America? You've got to be kidding. This is the most partisan, politically driven administration in history, and we're all supposed to be surprised by its conduct and motivation in the firing of these U.S. attorneys? Please.

Now the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law has voted to approve subpoenas that would force chief policy adviser Karl Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers and other top presidential aides to testify publicly and under oath about their involvement in the firings.

Guess what? That little ol' subcommittee can't do much of anything to force executive branch employees to testify without the help of the very man and department at the center of this altogether silly and over-baked controversy. That's right; Attorney General Alberto Gonzales or one of his U.S. attorneys would have to enforce any subpoenas refused by any of the president's aides.

This is the same Democratic-controlled Congress that millions of voters thought would be so vastly different from the last gaggle of partisan buffoons in the Republican-led 109th Congress. With almost 30,000 young Americans killed or wounded in Iraq, with a half-trillion dollars spent on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this Congress can do no better than publicly fulminate in futility and bray endlessly without effect on the course and conduct of the war in Iraq. Is there no sense of proportion and higher purpose anywhere in Washington?

2. Actually, Dobbs is pretty dead-on. Non-binding resolution? Pelosi caving on war funding?

ugh

4. yes. but how to sway the doubters over??

5. And the sun is hot

I heard that idiot going on yesterday about how both sides are playing partisan politics. Apparently in his pea brain the Democratic investigation must be "partisan" merely because it's aimed at a repuke White House. Never mind that investigation is completely justified.

The man is an idiot. I gave up on him after he got up on his moral high horse last fall, attacking Kerry for his (non) insult of the troops. Dobbs went on the air and continued to spew right wing talking points even after he KNEW that Kerry had simply misspoken.

The man is a tool.

6. I agree!

7. This from a man who supposedly wants to stop corruption

and enforce ethics in Washington. He is a pompous ASS....

[fasttense]

8. Yeah, he does stretch the truth when it comes

to placing the blame on Democratic, as well as repuke, congress members. He once ended up comparing heating oil subsidies for the poor to the bridge to no where in Alaska. He sometimes losses perspective but I love his rants against the administration.

10. He does it all of the time and most of the hosts on cnn..
