Dems Call for Bill on Security Clearance

By RON FOURNIER
The Associated Press
Thursday, July 14, 2005; 4:25 PM

WASHINGTON -- Senate Democrats moved forcefully into the controversy surrounding White House aide Karl Rove on Thursday, calling for legislation to deny security clearances to officials who disclose the identity of an undercover agent.

<snip>

Still, several top GOP officials _ including some White House advisers _ said the fight was becoming a distraction to Bush's agenda. The GOP officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of Bush's friendship with Rove, said the president may face a credibility problem because his spokesman said in September that anybody involved in the leak would be fired.

the Administration from handing over the entire country to the richest of the rich.

5. Really? Do you mean to say that investigations of the WH ...
can distract from a president's agenda? Who knew? Go figure!

Sure a good thing Clinton wasn't distracted by investigations, right?

LOL!

10. His agenda is more ambitious than that
The complete destruction of three countries and the complete redistribution of wealth to the already wealthy.
