Is everybody aware of this?.... 1,052 subpoenas for Clinton......
THREE for Bush.

Out of all the other mindboggling things in this article, if this isn't picked up by the so called media, we might as well move to Kazikstan.

<clip>

Democrats on the committee said the panel issued 1,052 subpoenas to probe alleged misconduct by the Clinton administration and the Democratic Party between 1997 and 2002, at a cost of more than $35 million. By contrast, the committee under Davis has issued three subpoenas to the Bush administration, two to the Energy Department over nuclear waste disposal at Yucca Mountain, and one last week to the Defense Department over Katrina documents.

1. Everyone is bought and paid for by the corporate elite.
Money is the game.

13. yes! tell everyone whenever possible.

we always do the grocery store line thing: i'll start up some topic (ie: drunk bush) with my companion in a can you believe it! sorta way.

i reckon that this sort of thing - letting other people "overhear" our conversation gets passed along more than if i were to actually collar people.
nobody likes to be told stuff.

time to stand in the long post office line and talk up the outrageous amount of money wasted on Clinton supoenas! betcha more people care about the money spent than number of supoenas.
i'll add in a little 'can you *imagine8 how much more body armor we could buy for our troops with that kind of money?


thanks!

kicked, nominated

20. Hey, that's a good technique!
Kind of like these plain-clothes product advocates who mill around in stores pretending to be regular customers, and then give their personal testimony about some product you're taking a look at. "I bought one of those $9,000 mattresses, and I can honestly say it's worth it!"

'cept in your case, you let them overhear your conversation rather than talking directly to them. Clever!

4. As spineless as we think the Democrats are...
the Repukes in Congress are far worse. They have double-jointed spines so they can bend over as far as possible.

6. Party Before Country
They never had integrity while accusing the Dems of being spineless.

8. Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have morals or virtues that one does not truly possess or practice. -snip-

A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action while carrying out the same action oneself. -snip-

The term hypocrisy is also commonly used in a way which should be more specifically termed a double standard, bias, or inconsistency. An example would be when one honestly believes that one group of individuals should be held to a different set of morals than another group. -snip-

Peace, and thank's for posting this aritcle. K&R.

10. To me, this is an indication of the quality of our Fourth Estate
The repukes have the executive branch, the legislative branch, the judicial branch and almost all of the press. With all this fuckin' control, the gang that couldn't shoot straight still can't help but fuck up a free meal.
Now, there is word that Nancy Pelosi is helping the sons of bitches. If I were younger and had more money, I'd leave this god damn country.

12. Sadly, the freeps will see this as proof that
Clinton was "dirty" and Bush is a "saint".

Must be nice to live in a delusion.

15. This makes sense to me after watching the interview with ...
Haynes Johnson on Afterword today.

He was comparing the debate now over torture/current policies to the debate about McCarthyism.

Same problem today as then. There are fierce debates going on in this country but the politicians, dems and repugs, the ones with the power to change things refuse to take them on, or even debate these issues publicly.


video link to the interview - http://www.booktv.org/ram/afterwords/1205/arc_btv121005_4.ram

After Words: Haynes Johnson interviewed by Joseph diGenova
This week on After Words Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Haynes Johnson examines the career of anti-communist Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) and the Red Scare during the 1950's. His new book is titled The Age of Anxiety: McCarthyism to Terrorism. The book draws connections between his legacy and the current state of post 9/11 domestic security including: the Patriot Act and the detention of American Muslims. He is interviewed by Joseph diGenova, former United States Attorney for the District of Columbia from 1983 to 1988.
