Harry Reid just made a motion, that was seconded, to send the Senate into closeed session.Schumer, Rockefeller and Durbin are before the press asking for a Senate Intelligence investigation into the Plame affair
Who won the last election and has majority of both houses? I forgot.
No more being nice. This is just another Democrat "show-boat" investigation and should just be shut down.
The one where no one was charged with the alledged crime?
Which broom closet are they renting for the hearings?
The session can be opened by a simple majority vote, so this is more of the Dems holding their breath until they turn bluer.
ping
Dems like closed doors...
BUMP
("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")
This has already been investigated.
Dems won't be happy until this blows Bush and Cheney out of office with indictments and possible jail time. That's what they want, and in the meantime, they'll make as much noise and palaver about this as possible. With sound bites from Kerry and Fat Teddy for weeks and months to come, Hill chiming in as a 'concerned' senator from time to time. If this display doesn't make you sick, I don't know what would.
How can a 3 yr old get control of the senate?
Fine, let them. The majority of people, when they finally do hear about this, will see the dems, once again, acting like babies.
"Senate Intelligence"
Shouldn't that be added to the oxymoron list? At least on the Dem side?
Rush Limbaugh now talking about this.
Overreaching again. When will they learn?
That's the problem for the Dems. Fitz didn't do what they wanted.
It has to be closed and they know it.
If it was open the fundamental questions about why Washington was talking about Wilson and his wife will be exposed...or exposed again -how soon they forget. What Wilson said versus what he told the CIA. His dubious claims of debunking documents. Dems need mystery because they've so far successfully run a meme that Wilson was an unfair target.
Keep it open!
("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")
CSPAN 2 will go back to it when either the session re-opens or someone else comes to the microphones to speak to the press.
Senators acting like children again. I will NEVER EVER vote for a Senator for President!
RUSH: Reports Harry Reid invoked "rule 21" to throw the Senate into closed session for discussions about the Libby indictment.
Or a CIA led coup-d'etat. Good Guys please step up.
Go to CSPAN2. Frist and the Pubs up now!
let's have a real investigation then. let's find out where the forged french memos came from, who planted them, and how Wilson seemed to know that they would be there.
That woman is appearing in gifs all over the internet... LOL.
Hey Harry, don't go looking for something you're not going to be glad you found.
What do the dims hope to get out of this motion?
Rush just mentioned this had happened.......
Plame affair? You mean the one Valerie had with a married ambassador to whom she confided her Agency status?
FR has beaten Rush and the rest of the media! Fox on it now. Frist is mad!
Where are the Republicans on this? Why are they allowing this?
Frist on Fox live now!
Frist is ticked!!! It's about time.
"OK, we'll investigate Plame affair... but we are also going to investigate Chappaquidic and CommieGate.... still want your Investigation?"
Senator Frist is outraged. On FNC now. He calls this a "pure stunt".
This is to artifically create a story for the nightly newscasts so they have reason to attack Bush. Apparently polling data hasn't been good for the Dems on this.
That the dems know are taking advantage of the silence of the White House is a nonbrainer. This is a publicity stunt.
Well, hell's bell's, Mr. President. If you don't say it, I will:
BRING IT ON!!!!!!
I urge EVERY FREEPER to send your collected info to your Senator.
Frist is pissed. I know a pissed doctor when I see one. I have seen many.
aka: your US senate....
The GOP should walk out.
Frist is on live, saying "the democrats have hijacked the senate". Man he's mad. Too bad he isn't a better leader...Reid wouldn't have even tried what Frist is calling "a stunt".
if we had Weldon in the senate, we'd see some action.
Frist calls this "an affront to me, an affront to the Senate, an affront to the United States of America."
Alito has knocked Plame off the front page - and they want it back. Sorry.
Ok, here is the reality. Nobody outside of Washington (other than us political junkies, and we are junkies) knows or cares about Scooter Libby. They don't care if he was indicted. Thus, this action by the dems will simply make them look like they are trying to re-debate the issues that were central to the 2004 campaign.
Ladies and gentlemen, the collapse has begun. Let them shut down the Senate (or try). In the end, they will lose.
BINGO! The Alito stories were taking away from the Plame and the Dems can't stand it!
Well, well.
Wil the Senate Republicans FINALLY realize these people aren't their friends?
