A possible answer to "What did the Dems know"?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2335240#2335254

It seems a couple of repukes were on Tweety saying they ought to put Nancy Pelosi under oath to find out what she knew about Masturgate and when she knew it. How about she answers..."I'd be happy to go under oath as long as Speaker Hastert will as well. In fact, I'd be happy to take a lie detector test if he will."

Wouldn't that shut them up and really fast?

1. Or something to the effect that it just doesn't matter
Every time Pelosi requested an investigation, the GOP leadership ignored her request. Only a GOPer could request an investigation in today's Congress.

2. They really are amazing, aren't they?
Just when you think they can't get any lower, they shovel down a few more feet.

3. Hastert making stupid statements
like that just makes it all the more likely that there will be a lot more oath taking when the dems get all those chairs.

Does he really want the dems to take oaths and not themselves? He's got to be kidding.

8. I can't wait
All I want for Christmas is Congressional hearings with repugs under oath.

4. Doubt the Dems knew anything
The Repugs kept the one Dem who was on the Page committee out of the loop so that pretty much smacks of an attempt to cover up.

Seems unlikely the the Dems knew everything and the Repugs knew nothing.

Nice try, no cigar GOP spinmeisters.

9. I'm going to watch the replay of Tweety when I get home
I'm on the West Coast. I've never watched him before but it sounds as if he did good today.

13. I haven't watched him
much in years. He wrote a very eloquent column opposing the invasion of Iraq ( his last one for the San Francisco newspaper before he went off to do MSNBC full time) but then became such a cheerleader for BushCo that I couldn't stomach him.

Lately though, the tide seems to be turning for him. He's been really hard on the Repugs , like he feels they deserve to lose.

Still 4 weeks is a lifetime in politics. Whatever Rove has planned for later this month may overshadow all of this.

5. EVERYONE knew Foley was creepy, but only REPUGS knew
the "hard" evidence. Gossip travels fast in DC - according to both Marrhews ad Buchanan last night - but the actual EMails to prove it seemed to have been for Rethug eyes only - and then coverd up.

10. Yup
I'm hoping Chairman Dean can get in their faces with this one like he did with Abramoff.

6. The PROPER Response?
Edited on Fri Oct-06-06 06:45 PM by OneAngryDemocrat
The PROPER response to that question should be obvious...

''The mother f-ing FBI had all of this stuff in May... Hastert and his mob had the stuff for maybe THREE YEARS before that! If you don't think that the Democrats should be all over this like flies on crap, and that the GOP should not have to pay a political price, then it is YOU (GOP cheerleader) that is coddling pedophiles, and the only question left unanswered is when YOU (GOP cheerleader) will be burning in Hell!!!''

The swine HATE it when we get all moral on 'em - they don't know what do or say.

11. The proper response.
"What did the Dems know?"

"The Dems know the Republicans have been cover-up child molestation."
