Inherent Contempt
Randi Rhodes just had a caller who suggested this as a strategy when Harriett Miers doesn't respond to her subpoena.

1. It Won't Happen
The Dems play nice, and so they will only charge her with contempt.

Which will either go absolutely NOWHERE, or else will take months/years to do so, rendering it meaningless.

But they'll HUFF, and they'll PUFF, and they'll make public statements, but they won't do what's really necessary, like charging inherent contempt.

But it will make for great "theatre," even though ZILCH will come of it.

2. You were listening to a rerun of a show from last week.
Too bad the Dems don't appear to have listened.
