Any ACCOUNTABILITY Left in US Government? Brownie PERJURED himself...
Not new news but it's fallen from the top...

Michael Brown committed perjury and LIED to Congress under OATH. Does that mean anything to ANYONE anymore?

Will YOUR member of Congress hold him responsible?

1. I think they are more concerned with
Raphael Palmeiro perjurying himself than brownie, so nothing will probably happen with this.

:mad:

3. Those damn baseball players and their performance enhancers
their ruining the country I tell ya. :sarcasm:

I asked the question about whether the congressmen questioning him can perjure themselves. Some of them were clearly not telling the truth and using their time to spin the web of lies.

No accountability indeed.

4. Oh you innocent!
:loveya:
No one in this den of thieves is is ever held responsible and perjury (for the cause) is not only acceptable, it is encouraged.
What a shock it was when I found out that rules and laws apply only to the peons.

7. Its the dates. Blanco's release was dated 8/28/05 on her website.
While the Bush press release was dated 8/26/05 on the Whitehouse web site. It appears there was oral communications which facilitated the President issuing the emergency order two days before she released her memo. Whether a Louisiana clerk messed up or a Bush aide messed and left parrishes off we may never know. The point is nobody is making an issue of this because it is not an issue.
