2. Tea...but no sympathy! *chuckles at her own wit*

(sorry, couldn't resist)

I think "invite" is a gentle request that if denied leads to subpoena.

3. I hope it's more than simply an "invitation." But then again, Scott McClellan doesn't

seem to be nearly as combative now. I think he wants to set the record straight because - GASP! - one morning after he'd been away from all this spin shit for awhile, he suddenly discovered he had a conscience. And I think it's been bothering him like crazy ever since.

4. Please.

Too little, too late. Although if we drag this out, then Smirk can't pardon the treasonous bastards.

7. How much evidence does the Judiciary Committee need?

Impeach them Conyers. Anyone standing in the way obstructing justice can be fired or go to jail.
