Remember Harriet Meyers CONTEMPT of CONGRESS?

[niceypoo]

Um....you guys said you would DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT when the AUGUST RECESS ended? Well, guess what?

IT'S SEPTEMBER!!!

[DS1]

1. Yes

I remember.

[peacetheonlyway]

2. congress is asleep at the wheel

while it's screeching down the road 190 miles an hour towards armageddon.

it's insane.

[MadMaddie]

3. Yep...nothing....

4. Bush Is Very Smart

Back when Nixon was the cheese, he had one big scandal, and one big catastrophe. Very easy for people to focus on these.

Bush has a truckload of both huge scandals AND huge catastrophes. Too hard to keep our eyes on all of them. So we forget.

5. Rahm and Nancy have decided to put it off ...

indefinitely.

[niceypoo]

6. Funny how Pelosi never shows her face anymore...

Perhaps it is because she is as loathsome as bush. Yes, enablers are just as guilty as the perpetrators.

7. It's Meirs and Leahy said he is deferring it til October.

[niceypoo]

10. Well, isn't that handy!

Then just defer it a little longer until the next 13 scandals come down the road and it is largely forgotten, and they wont have to waste time saving whats left of our democracy! They can go back to being endlessly filibustered.

8. it seems a number of these fignuts in congress never even knew about inherent contempt..

and that includes people like Conyers and Waxman, who I'd assumed were on the ball.

[bbgrunt]

9. they know. they do not wish to act.

[madfloridian]

11. Dry powder

.

[niceypoo]

12. Powder? What Powder?

What kind of powder do the Democrats have anymore? Twinkly pixie dust? Wouldnt want to get that wet...

[jmp]

13. "It's not worth the fight."

That seems to be the Democratic Party slogan.

[BlueStater]

14. The Democrats are almost as loathsome as the Republicans

Those who abuse their power and betray the voters who trusted them are about as vile and disgusting as you can get but those who sit on their hands while the wrongdoing occurs when they have the power to do something about it aren't much better.

Pelosi needs to go. I have no idea what the fuck is the matter with her but she has been in power for eight months now and things aren't any better than they were at this point a year ago. Unlike the kind of people who support Bush, I don't stand by failed leaders.

[niceypoo]

15. Pelosi actually stated that if she wasnt in control she would push for impeachment

How twisted is that?
