OFF WITH THEIR HEADS --Dick Morris from The Hill

"The Democrats...will use their new House majority to plague the administration with investigations. While the left would be appeased by investigations into why we invaded Iraq in the first place, it is financial scandals that will do the greatest damage to Bush and the Republicans. Democratic committee chairmen will examine Halliburton contracts in Iraq, royalty deals for offshore oil drilling, defense procurement scandals, and resource leases in national forests and wilderness areas. They will examine the nexus between campaign contributions and favors from the trough of the executive branch.

Immunized from congressional scrutiny by a compliant Congress, the administration has been getting away with pork politics of the worst sort and the Democrats will find sufficient fodder for years of hearings and investigations. The last two years of the Bush administration will most closely resemble the Clinton years, where scandal after scandal after scandal battered the president’s image and ratings. But, unlike the GOP assault on Clinton, the Democrats will stay on financial issues rather than stray into the personal. The results will be devastating for the Republicans and their prospects in 2008."

3. Boy, he knows which way the toes blow, doesnt he?

[immerlinks]

4. Not if we're not careful

"The results will be devastating for the Republicans and their prospects in 2008."

Only we can hold the collaborating corporate media whores feet in the fire and force them to publish, print, broadcast the facts and not republican spin.

Bring back the Fairness Doctrine!

8. Cheney needs to resign first, otherwise we'll take them down together. If they

resign together, we'll have President Pelosi, and they don't want that.

10. You're playing my song

But they can't get a new VP confirmed without us. It the immortal words of David Bowie: "Let's Dance"

11. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

12. he sounds like a pimp who knows the tastes of his johns

In that capacity he may be giving good pointers on the most advantageous lines of investigation.

13. This is Actually Good Advice

The origins of the war are really not going to strike a chord any longer. Public opinion has already turned.

Financial scandals, on the other hand, offer something new and salacious, and reinforce the meme of Republican corruption.

14. ...and that's why I care what he said

"he may be giving good pointers on the most advantageous lines of investigation"

[whirlygigspin]

15. omg! they've gone nuts

...and Morris said this on insanity & Colmes:

Dick Morris: "John Murtha one step to the right of Cindy Sheehan"

:rofl:

[On the Road]

16. He's Got to be Kidding

Murtha and Zell Miller don't look that different on paper outside of Murtha's anti-war stance.

[rodeodance]

18. now that Murtha lost -he can devote more time to redeploying troops
