1. Should have been done LONG ago!!

Too much time to forget things and "lose" papers.

[TheUnspeakable]

2. ?=Harriet Miers sweet!!!!

[Bucky]

26. I agree. Harriet Miers is sweet.

If I owned an ice cream shop, I'd totally be willing to hire her to, I dunno, was the dishes or something.

Probably not ready to work the cash register, of course, but she does have a nice smile.

[librechik]

3. my guess, Susan Ralston

[babylonsister]

4. Harriet Miers is #2-MSNBC just announced it, believe it or not. nt

[johnfunk]

5. It's official: the (lame) ducks are lined up...

... next move: White House will be whining "Execytive priv'lij! Execytive priv'lij!"

Dems should hit back hard with their own talking points:
• Only applies to prez and his conversations
• Does NOT apply when crimes are committed
• If Junior and Fredo really do believe no crimes were committed, they would not engage in conduct that suggests a cover-up. After all, this Prez promised to "return honor and integrity to the White House."

[malaise]

6. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Do not let this go Dems.

[Virginia Dare]

7. Let's hope she's an even worse liar than Gonzo...n/t

[xultar]

8. BOOM SHAKA LAKA SHAKA LAKA! That's what I'm talkin about.

[Supersedeas]

9. William Kelley should be in that list, too

[Botany]

10. Tooo the best lawyer in the whole world ... HUGS & KISSES

BTW Harriet get your ass to the Capital

[bdamomma]

11. this should have been done to many in this thuggish regime

when will this congress listen to the American people, apparently our voices are getting squelched.

[Captain Hilts]

13. These supeonas are a sign that our voices are being squelched? I don't think so....nt

[bdamomma]

22. well our voices are not being totally squelched but the wheels

of justice are moving very slowly.

[NavyDavy]

23. man they just can't do enough for some people

[Captain Hilts]

29. Govt. was designed to work slowly. Welcome aboard NavyDavy!

Now, THIS is the navy!

[Marie26]

12. Why not Rove?

Come on. They've already authorized subpoenas for him, and everyone knows he's the one who was behind the firings.

[AndyA]

15. Exactly. Drag Rove's fat ass in.

Put him under oath, and make him lie to Congress.

Then eat his lunch.

[Marie26]

18. I think they're afraid of him

He should've been the first one called to testify.

[Solly Mack]

14. that's got potential

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. Hot damn!!

Now will she play the Condi game and ignore it?

[Frustratedlady]

17. Miers will lie for The Kid....

Isn't she the one who cleaned out all his bad military papers in some military base storeroom? She loves him.

[Marr]

19. Miers is a dunce- this should be interesting.

Have you noticed how many of these Bush Administration, authoritarian sorts just seem so massively stupid? Doug Feith, Lurita Doan, Monica Goodling... Bush himself... their ranks seem to be filled with idiocy.

[Frustratedlady]

21. He couldn't afford to hire someone smarter....

as he'd stick out like a red flag.

[NastyRiffraff]

20. I wonder if she'll bring her lace hankie

and her locket with George's picture and a lock of his hair? This is getting very interesting.

[soothsayer]

24. man, I hope they air that one!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. I thought Harriet was fairly smart, but ...

but now she's going to lose her memory and not be able to recall anything. Amnesia's a bitch.

[WiseButAngrySara]

27. I suppose this is good, but what is to come of it with LIARS with AMNESIA? n/t

[derby378]

28. Just when I was wondering if the Democrats in Congress had done anything worth mentioning...

...hope emerges anew. Sweet!

[LiberalEsto]

30. Harrietgate?

Oh boy!

:popcorn:

[jazzjunkysue]

31. Make that 13 recs. Happy Fitzmas!!!! WoooHoooo!!!!!!

My prediction (not a threat):This woman will not survive her testimony. They'll make sure she's busy having a heart attack or breast cancer.

She will never, I repeat, never be put in front of a microphone.

It. Just. Won't. Happen.
:popcorn:

[jazzjunkysue]

32. I just heard it announced on NPR.

Last night I had a feeling something had happened and was on DU to find out what it was.

I guess I was right.
:popcorn:

[radfringe]

33. are the supoena's actually going to be served?

[Gregorian]

34. Ribbit!

I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to pull this oldie out again. Yahoo!

[snappyturtle]
