OK, media: where's the coverage of the hearings?
We all know about *'s speechifyin' today. It was all a rerun, we've heard it before.

We all know that Lady Bird died yesterday. God bless her sweet soul.

Where's the story that Harriet Meiers failed to show up after being subpoenaed by Congress?

And you aren't reporting that Harriet Meiers is being held in contempt of Congress.

And you aren't reporting that subpoenas are being issued to the RNC for documents.

Prove to us that you aren't a right wing corporate owned propaganda machine. REPORT THE NEWS!

3. Forbes:

Addressing the empty chair where Miers had been subpoenaed to testify, Rep. Linda Sanchez ruled out of order Bush's executive privilege claim that his former advisers are immune from being summoned before Congress.

-snip-

"Those claims are not legally valid," Sanchez, D-Calif., said of Bush's declaration, made Monday. "Ms. Miers is required pursuant to the subpoena to be here now."
