Contempt citations on hold as Dems, Bush craft stimulus plan
Nick Juliano
Published: Wednesday January 23, 2008


Last week it was "pretty certain" that House Democrats would quickly move forward with contempt citations against two Bush administration figures who were stonewalling Congress. Then the economy started circling the drain.

The planned citations now appear to be on hold as Congress and the White House work on a bipartisan economic stimulus package, the central tenet of which involves cutting virtually everyone an $800 check.

Democratic leaders and aides tell The Politico that pursuing the contempt citations in conjunction with the stimulus package would "step on their message" of bipartisanship.

1. Oh, horseshit. Does anyone really believe those citations will ever be issued?
I don't.

They can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Yeah, right.

Just another excuse to enable monsters. And enabling monsters is what our Democratic Leadership excels at.
