Nothing doing until all the 'Rats on that committee publicly disavow that memo, right?

[bybybill]

Poor baby Rats, it`s time to bring back leaky Leahy

[coloradan]

Move on. Old news. We didn't do it. Everybody does it. We have the work of the American people to do. That isn't treason - what you are doing is treason. How dare you!!

More spin from the rats.

... demanded that the Republican chairman let go of any sore feelings ...

[Post Toasties]

Roberts should threaten (and follow through, if necessary, on that threat) to shut down that committee's operations unless and until the proper corrective actions are taken by Democrats so that such partisanship as the memo outlines is no longer a possibility.

Stick it Rocky!

[Lancey Howard]

Sure.
Let's get these judges confirmed and then maybe we can get you Democrats back into the loop.

[Steel and Fire and Stone]

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence demanded that the Republican chairman let go of any sore feelings...

Translation: "You will bend over, and you WILL take it the way we want you to take it, because the 'Shrub' stole the election and he's an illegitimate President and I SHOULD BE the Chairman of this committee and because the American people are ignoring the OUTRAGEOUS lies of this President and because most of all ...we're losing, losing, losing, and aren't going to take it anymore .. WWAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa.."

For those who needed the English, infantile, non-spin version.

This is priceless. The dems commit TREASON .. or at the least SEDITION .. and they're upset because "someone took the letter". Yeah .. one of their own staffers. But .. it's the repubs fault. Now .. they want to drop the issue .. I DON'T THINK SO!!

More letters, more phone calls, more emails .. NO DROPPING OF THE ISSUE OF THIS MEMO! None of the dems have disavowed this memo .. NOT ONE - except Zell Miller. We must not allow them to get away with this.

One thing you can do to help keep the heat on is sign the MemoGate Petition.

The ranking Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence demanded that the Republican chairman let go of any sore feelings about a leaked memo politicizing prewar Iraqi intelligence and let the committee get back to work.

... and this, mind you, from the very same party manifestly incapable of "letting go of any sore feelings" and allowing jaw-droppingly OVER-qualified jurists to serve with a simple Senate majority vote.

Stick it someplace moist, Rockefeller. You whiny little feeb. :)

[nightdriver]

Rockefeller needs to be expelled from the senate a-la-Packwood.

Demanded?

[I_dmc]

Honest question. What important work might this committee do that could not be postponed until after the 2004 elections? They are an oversight committee aren't they? Its not like our intelligence services couldn't operate without them, is it?

[patj]

Mr. Bush was quoting from a British intelligence report, which later was found to be erroneous.

When did this happen? I thought that Blair said he was standing by this intelligence. What memo did I miss?

[leprechaun9]

How about bringing in an experienced traitor as an arbitrator? TORCH TORRICELLI!

[livius]

"Sore feelings."

Ah yes, the usual Dem spin - never mind that the real issue is treason.
