1. Durbin's statement against an Asscroft confirmation was blistering
and the Bushies/Rovies went after Durbin w/a vengence after Asscroft was confirmed.

He knows what happened to Wilson and his wife's blown security.

2. I THINK they just voted down the amendment to create a special counsel
They were trying to add it to a DC appropriation bill and I think they just voted it down, either that or they ended the debate on it.

Not sure. Anyway a new bill will be introduced I'm sure.

7. Who do you think will learn the greater lesson in all this?
The Bushies, realizing that if they continue to bully others, they're going to get their butts bit in return?

OR, those in a position to know that the Bushies are lying their asses off, but who realize they should keep their mouths shut if they don't want to end up suicided or outed?

9. Well if they get away with it....
They will be TOTALLY out of control.

We'll see but since the FBI already started an investigation the ball is rolling.

3. There's not enough spin or money in the coffers to cover these realities
He was superb!
Harry Reid was also powerful about the consequences of this action.
Finally, GOP took over (not germaine) and shoved it under the carpet. Let's destroy public education instead!

6. he also raised the possibility of...
....POLYGRAPHS for Karl Rove!

He noted that some months ago the WH had accused him of leaking some info, and the FBI came to him and asked him to submit to a polygraph test.

He asked "Do you think Ashcroft will go to Karl Rove and ask him to take a polygraph? No. That's why we need a special counsel."

8. What a heady 24 hours this has been!
We've heard Democrats utter the words 'treason' and 'polygraph' both on the floor of the Senate! :thumbsup:
