If this revelation is not the last straw, what is?

Now onyx, you should know by now that with Clintonistas, there is NEVER a last straw. If tomorrow Ms. Gorelick was found to have secret weekly meetings at the Iraqi mission it would still not be enough to get her to resign.

You would think the last straw for the commission's existence would be the outing of the CIA spymaster. If that isn't enough to get anyone's attention like the Valerie Plame brouhaha and totally discredit the commission as well as the 9-11 hags, more information about this cow isn't going to be the last straw for her.

If this revelation is not the last straw, what is?

Good morning, Onyx. Answer: It won't be, and nothing will derail this commission. I doubt very seriously that Gore-lick will be forced to resign, or that she'll have the honor to do so on her own. (If she had honor, she would have refused the appointment in the first place.) The blunt, brutal fact is that unless the so-called mainstream media turns up the heat, there won't be much pressure for her to resign.

Tom, Dan, Peter, Katie-Matt, Charlie-Diane, local TV and radio news, local fishwraps, and TV shows like '60 Minutes' and the late night comics, these are where the vast, vast majority of the public get their news — to the extent that they pay any attention to news at all. As we all know, the Left has a stranglehold on those news and information outlets.

We are a nation approaching a population of 300 million, roughly one-third of whom will vote in presidential election years. Yet, based on hard statistics like TV ratings and radio "books," only about 10 — let's be generous — 20 million pay close attention to day-to-day news. Without the power of the media megaphone, no story becomes a big-enough deal to move anything in Washington.
