Fineman: Bush needs a McShame third term for the coverup ( just like St. Ronnie)

[deminks]

Yesterday on The Chris Matthews Show on NBC, Newsweek columnist Howard Fineman revealed one of the reasons President Bush is pushing so hard for Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) to win the election in November:

FINEMAN: There’s also fear. If you’re in this White House, you want another Republican administration to follow. You don’t want a Democratic administration coming in there while the evidence is still fresh, so to speak.

MATTHEWS: With the subpoena power.

FINEMAN: With the subpoena power. And looking through all the records and looking through all the decisions that were made. You want cover over your two terms with a third term, the way Ronald Reagan did with George H.W. Bush.

3. The subpoena power of a Democratic Congress was supposed to...

...reveal the Bush Administration's evil plans.

Instead, Bush officials just refuse to show up.

4. That's why Junior HAD to "win" in 2000..

Daddy's papers & Reagan's papers were due to be released.. Remember ...that was the 2nd thing Junior did on inauguration day.. sealed those papers right up and shipped them off to Texas.. They have been thoroughly sanitized by now, so we'll NEVER know what really happened from 1980-2000...TWENTY consecutive years of presidential history..gone... (well not "gone", but cleaned up considerably)

5. I heard this and thought it funny that this is already accepted fact.

Just like Nixon. Of course he's a crook, and of course there is alot of evidence.
