I guess this is balance. I sppouse I should be thrilledIf they would show up and claim executive privledge, that claim could be taken to court. As long as they refuse to show up, that clock can’t even get ticking. The Congress relies upon DOJ to basically arrest Bolten/Miers for not showing up, and DOJ refuses, regardless of whether they have any constitutional right to refuse (no).They’ll eventually get what’s coming to them, though, in the next Administration. That’s what I expect from the progressive blogosphere. That’s all the reason they should need to play ball right there. Bush can shield them under his hand for about two more years.there never was any “there” there, at least not with respect toClown Show the politically appointed attorneys who were fired in the due course of the administration’s affairs.Buying the conservative A**-covering hook, line, and sinker, what a surprise. Your link covers to grant it that generous term the firing of exactly one attorney. The dirt on Yglesias and Domenici has been confirmed by the guilty parties themselves. The only missing link to impeachable offenses from that machination alone is the evidence of White House involvement, but that involvement, whether it can be proved or not, is an open secret. It can’t be admitted because doing so would invite the prosecution of everyone involved.Firing an attorney in order to influence the course of a federal prosection is a criminal offense.

Comment on The True Shame of Letterman’s Non-Apology by Natasha

If a Jew gets the better of you in an emcnooic transaction, you can beat him upwhat speaks volumes is you calling an obvious rip off an emcnooic transaction’. maybe in your world its natural to make a profit off others stupidity or weaknesses, if so the joke is on you. notice your quick segue into placing the jew in the role of victim as a result of this rip off yet you offer no objection to this emcnooic transaction’ as you call it. btw the goy was not seeking an emcnooic transaction, he was seeking an educational transaction and the jew decided to make a profit in the course of the lesson’. so what lesson’ does the goy learn? not to believe jews because given the opportunity they will not be honest if they can make a profit?the joke perpetuates the anti semetic meme jews will rip you off for your money and the resulting response proves jews need protection in the way of their own state and army to fend off the consequence of thievery? oh, i forgot it is not thievery because the jew earned it fair and square by deception.i would rather be an idiot any day than to be making a profit by deceiving those who go about their day trusting others. maybe next time it is not just 50 kopecks the swindler pockets, maybe it is someones retirement. give us your land for us to protect ourselves (the victims) from the likes of your reactions to our deception!what is disgusting about jones’s joke’ is to get an audience to laugh over denying a thirsty man water, to get an audience to laugh over the jew outsmarting the arab, to get another audience to point out the jew is the victim of the anti semitic joke, and to get a formal apology for the offense to the jew. but in the end the arab is still thirsty, is anyone even considering giving him a glass of water while everyone concerns himself with the poor jewish victims here?And that’s why they need a state and an army. they already have a state and an army eee, it is the occupation and their expansionist policies they will not let go of that are threatening that state. obviously wrt the joke’ if the man quit doling out the lesson’ of taking the others kopecks perhaps nobody would want to beat him up. maybe you should rethink the concepts behind the validity of this emcnooic transaction’ because they amount to nothing more than a giant scam. once removed the threat is reduced 1000 fold.
