If they were talking about Senator Byrd being senile and racist, they would have a good point.

"I believe President-elect Obama possesses an instantly recognizable purity of soul that, coupled with his brilliance, and, of course, his eloquence, brought quite unimaginable and long-awaited magic to the country, transforming red and blue states, quite literally, into 'The Color Purple.' I believe the entire country will stand behind him."

Apocalyptic barf alert.

The Congress is a Democrat institution and IF they have a hearing, it wont amount to squat.

Senile because he is in his 70's, and racist because he was opposing Obama

Dems better not go there or how could they explain Senator Byrd being 20 years older and 4th in line of succession. And Byrd was a former Klansman to boot!

The third instance involves an acting IG for the International Trade Commission, Judith Gwynne, who has been told her contract would not be renewed amid allegations that an ITC employee forcibly took documents from her possession. Just three hours after Grassley sent along his letter asking questions, she was told she’d be hitting the road in July when her contract is up. Well, well, well.

Separately this week, the International Trade Commission told its acting inspector general, who is not subject to White House authority, that her contract would not be renewed.

Grassley had become concerned about her independence because of a report earlier in the year that an agency employee forcibly took documents from the acting inspector general.

“It is difficult to understand why the ITC would not have taken action to ensure that the ITC inspector general had the information necessary to do the job,” Grassley wrote on Tuesday.

Less than three hours after the letter was e-mailed to the agency, the acting IG, Judith Gwynne, was told that her contract, which expires in early July, would not be renewed.

-- I wish someone knowledgeable of the law involved could tell us if he has any remedy in court --

He does not. This specific IG position serves at the pleasure of the president, but not without political pressure. On the incoming side, IG's are nominated by the president, and their appointment is subject to advice and consent by the Senate. On the outgoing side, the president is required to communicate the reasons for removal to both Houses of Congress. Whether or not the reasons "pass muster" is a political question, not a statutory one.

Inspector General Act <- Link
5 USC 3 : § 3. Appointment of Inspector General; supervision; removal; etc.

“Olberman and DU would be screaming!!!!”

And as it stands they’re silent as a couple of little field mice with a cat nearby. What biased IDIOTS. And they think they’re clever? And they think we’re biased?

I wish him the best of luck, but I don’t think he will have much luck with this Congress. Also, don’t take any walks in Fort Marcy Park. ;)

“MSNBC will ratchet up the smears on Walpin big time now. Obama’s lil’ Geobbels will be working 24/7 until the job is done.”
+++++++++++++++

We must oppose this dis-information and we must support Walpin now. This must be a battle royale for any shred of credibility that the zero admin has...over the top, underneath and inbetween...no retreat.

I think the Libs in government have enough power in their hands and hubris in their nasty souls to just openly tell him to stuff it.

They can be as in our faces as they want and do it with total impunity.
