Senate Judiciary votes Bolten, Rove in contempt...
WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee voted on Thursday to hold two top aides to President George W. Bush in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate in its probe of fired federal prosecutors.

As with many of Bush's battles with the Democratic-led Senate, the president may ultimately prevail since his fellow Republicans may be able to block the citations with a procedural hurdle.

1. I hold out little hope that
either one will be held to account, ever. They have all passed Go, collected their $200.00 and have tucked their Get out of Jail Free Card safely in their back pockets. In fact they have not only passed Go, they have stolen Go, and all the money as well. Not to mention their friends own all the hotels on Park Place and Boardwalk and will be moving their HQ to Dubai.
