Snow Blasts "Pathetic" House Panel Move

Snow blasts ‘pathetic’ House panel move
By Klaus Marre
July 25, 2007
White House spokesman Tony Snow strongly criticized congressional Democrats Wednesday, calling the House Judiciary Committee’s move to advance a contempt of Congress citation against two White House staffers “pathetic.”

The panel voted along party lines to bring the citation against former White House Counsel Harriet Miers and President Bush’s chief of staff, Josh Bolten, to the full House. Democrats say the move is warranted because Bolten and Miers ignored congressional subpoenas.

The vote drew a harsh rebuke from Snow, who told reporters that the partisanship in Congress “quite often boils down to insults, insinuations, inquisitions and investigations.”

But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vehemently backed the panel’s decision.

2. I saw the video on CNN's site...the press gaggle snickered at his dramatic outrage.
He even looked up before going on. It was funny.

7. At Tony. Someone said something like...
"Oh, my!" just loud enough to hear after Tony went on about how evil the Dems are being, and the rest of the people made with the stifled laughter.

6. What is really pathetic
is a man literally at death's door lying his ass off to protect a bunch of criminals. I am not a religious person but if I were I would think the Good Lord will not appreciate what Snow job is doing.

13. At this exact place in his life, he should be trying to reach a cleaner position
from which to operate during the time which is left him.

He has been the mouthpiece for monsters, spinning and twisting the truth until it has no resemblance to reality. These wingers must, at heart, not really believe there is a "Judgement Day," or he'd be busy mending his ways, trying to atone for the damage he has done, the suffering he has caused, by representing killers to the world.

19. Democracy ceased to exist in 2000, Freedom ceased to exist in Sept of 2001.
And that is pathetic.

butt.

Some rats are too dumb to desert a sinking ship.
