House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the Justice Department on Thursday to open a grand jury investigation into whether President Bush's chief of staff and former counsel should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress. ------------------------
I like Nancy's timing. She may be smarter than we thought. Get thee to the greatest page.

4. I'll believe it when I see it. |

She can ask for anything but I doubt she has the balls to back it up. (sorry but no other expression works as well)

2. woohoo!! here's a few paragraphs to whet your appetite |
|
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked the Justice Department on Thursday to open a grand jury investigation into whether President Bush's chief of staff and former counsel should be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.
Pelosi, D-Calif., demanded that the department pursue misdemeanor charges against former White House counsel Harriet Miers for refusing to testify to Congress about the firings of federal prosecutors in 2006 and against chief of staff Josh Bolten for failing to turn over White House documents related to the dismissals.
She gave Attorney General Michael Mukasey one week to respond and said refusal to take the matter to a grand jury will result in the House's filing a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration.
The White House branded the request as "truly contemptible." The Justice Department had no immediate comment. The top House Republican called it "a partisan political stunt" and "a complete waste of time," according to a spokesman.
The Democratic-controlled House voted two weeks ago to hold Bolten and Miers in contempt for failing to cooperate with committee investigations.
:woohoo:

19. I Think You Should Start the Vengance With Pelosi, Reid, Hoyer and other DINOs |
|
and then work your way up. And it's a group effort (unless you have unusually good connections, or luck).

it good to write letters and make demands but you have got to follow through. At the end of the period given, NO MORE threats it HAS to be balls to the wall action. Otherwise you just continue looking foolish.
