Democrats Will Hold President's Feet to the Fire in Upcoming Hearings
Congress to Investigate Whether Scientists' Work on Global Warming Was Suppressed by White House
By JAKE TAPPER and MIKE CALLAHAN

Jan. 30, 2007 — Today, the Democratic congressman who took on big tobacco will confront the Bush administration on allegations that it has suppressed global warming science.

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., and the House Government Reform Committee he chairs will hear from government scientists who will testify that their work on global warming was distorted or suppressed by the Bush administration.

(snip)

This morning's hearing on global warming is just one of many investigations and actions that the new Democratic Congress is conducting regarding President Bush and his administration.

The White House seems to be under attack from every angle — for issues from global warming and the rebuilding of New Orleans to Darfur and Iraq.

"This will be an unprecedented level of scrutiny for them — unprecedented level of scrutiny at all levels," said Ana Marie Cox, the Washington editor of Time.com.

[Sapphire Blue]

8. Those were the words used in the news report. Verbatim.

[Maven]

10. Well, then, that's the most insidiously biased headline they could have written

Why am I not surprised.

[seafan]

17. Good piece except for the very last sentence...

ABC: Democrats Will Hold President's Feet to the Fire in Upcoming Hearings, January 30, 2007

At one point, some of the more extreme members of the Democratic Party discussed impeachment proceedings, but Democratic leaders quashed that talk to focus on issues they felt the public could support.

The *extremists* are the majority, ABC.


With this one sentence buried at the end, ABC shows its bias yet again.

[pa28]

19. "This will be an unprecedented level of scrutiny for them"

Any scrutiny at all is unprecedented for them.

I can't wait to watch them answer for six years of abuse, corruption and ineptitude. We'll never get our money back so seeing them sweat under the lights will have to do.

[Edweird]

20. Every angle but one: Katrina

Revoke lieberman's chairmanship and put a dem on it. lieberman is a puke.

[Ganja Ninja]

25. Exactly! Don't expect a real investigation from Lieberman.

He's too beholden to Karl Rove for all the campaign money.

[Major Hogwash]

21. And they call this news! What did they expect, the Dems would just go away!

ABC isn't the only one acting shocked -*shocked I tell ya, shocked* - that the Dems are investigating this Bush administration.

Hell, Faux Snooze acts downright indignant about it.

[corkhead]

22. Hallelujah! The adults are finally back in charge

[goclark]

23. Keep it coming Democrats ~ feet/fire to CONS nt

[undeterred]

24. No shit. That's why they were elected, ABC.
