Ummm, Lou. I know your memory on these things isn't too good but how long did the Republicans investigation into a blow job last?

2. good point n
remember how it drove Olberman right off of MSNBC?Every day they had the "White House In Crisis day 235..".Maybe that's why he doesn't mind giving it back to the republicans with all their shenanigans now.Just a thought...

8. He's been doing this for quite some time. He is our favorite on
CNN. He doesn't give 'em any slack.

4. And... there was no "there" there
in Watergate to investigate longer. Penny ante compared to TREASON.

5. Let's add the $$ as well as the time
let's see: $70 million to investigate Clinton's zipper
$3 million to investigate 9-11
$0 spent by Congress to investigate treason

yep that shows a good sense of proportion

9. Did you catch the report about outsourcing?
I gather it was supposed to come out before the election, was held up and changed to reflect something entirely different. Dobbs called it a lie. I'm looking forward to the transcript. It was a good show.

13. I missed the report but caught the teaser
The teaser said he was going to reveal who altered the report and how they altered it ... any info on that? Who did it?

10. It's not true.
Watergate: started during the 1972 campaign. Nixon resigned in August 1974, about two years later.

Plame investigation: Novak outed her July 14, 2003. It's now October 2005, slightly more than two years and nowhere close to twice as long as Watergate.
