[IChing]

3. Sanchez is gonna lay down the smack down on Cannon

Cannon says there has to be a crime.

4. Ooo, this is getting good...

Why do I always miss the good ones!? Stupid job... argh.

6. We can meet in a Pub and have refreshments

if we questioned Harriet Miers your way....

[VP505]

7. Oh how I would

like to see Conyers tell Cannon to STFU!

[Atman]

8. Poor Mr. Cannon wants to be sure of a conviction before they investigate.

These republicans are fucking ridiculous. They always seem to want written guarantees that there will be convictions even BEFORE they start the investigations. They don't seem to understand that the conviction comes as a RESULT of the investigation.

Oh, wait...they understand it perfectly...which is why they keep playing that same sorry game. It seems to work for them against the feckless democrats.

12. In this case

conviction proof = OBSTRUCTION!!!

[ThomWV]

9. Cannon (R) Is Clearly Unprepared

[IChing]

11. His argument was that this weaken Congress he is not reasonable.

nor logical.

[IChing]

10. Can we combine these two threads moderator?

[Atman]

13. Cannon is a MAJOR douche bag

He shouldn't be that fat...he seems to get lots of exercise carrying water for Bush.

STFU, Mr. Cannon. You've received all the documents, now move along and STOP WASTING OUR TIME.

19. This fat fuck from Florida talking? Is he the guy who offers blow jobs in public restrooms for $20?

[Bluebear]

20. Different fat fuck from Florida :)

[Atman]

15. This Steve Cohen dude is ON FIRE!

He says he's "new" here, only six months, but man he's kickin ass right out of the gate!

[Bluebear]

17. "You DON'T just not show up!"

[coffeenap]

26. Steve Cohn is one of our finest from Tennessee!

He is a REALLY GOOD guy! Very intelligent & well-spoken. He won Harold Ford's vacated House seat.
A major improvement IMHO.:)

[Bluebear]

29. Major improvement is right!

[VP505]

21. Keller

what a comedian, "do want a President to surround himself with yes men", ya like there are no YES men in the Bu$h Admin.

[Atman]

24. There is no evidence that Harriet Miers did anything wrong,

so it okay for her to flout the law and ignore a congressional subpoena. I'll try that one if I ever get called into court. I just won't go, and when they come for me, I'm sure they'll be okay with it if I just say "I didn't feel like coming in to court because there is no evidence I did anything wrong."

That will work, right?

.

[Cassandra]

30. That one gave me a laugh.

Bush has purged everyone who isn't a yes man out of the administration. These people are such shits.

[Atman]

22. I just don't understand this "need for candid advice" bullshit.

Since when does complying with the law prevent one from giving candid advice? I mean, unless you're blatantly lying or giving advice that is patently illegal, what is the fear here? Who says "I'm sorry, I cannot advise you because someday there might be a hearing?" That just doesn't make any sense.

.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. You & Me Both

That makes absolutely no sense. One would be thought of highly enough to give advice to the POTUS, and one would NOT be honest and forthright because someone might ask about it later? Nonsense.

25. Here we go

Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton

27. "Privilidge" Is Only Skin Deep

Now Feeney sure wouldn't put the same standard to some poor schmuck stuck on a bum drug rap or want to extend the same rights to "terrirsts".

KagroX has a great post about the options Democrats have with a contempt citation:
