I've had to listen to the Bush administration lie to me for 6 years while they rob America of young kids, money and our constitution. These guys need to testify under oath and in public. Were all tired of this. David

Now that the Blackwater mercenaris are coming to light,the fact that the Bush administration is up to its eyebrows in cahoots with this terror organization and Mr. Fielding comes directly from its ranks, I sure wish the Bushies good luck in stalling. The American people have definitely had enough of this dangerous dangerous dangerous administration and its tactics. They think that Americans are really stupid and dumb - "You just go about your business and I'll go about mine" I believe was what Bush said a few years ago. Well, sir, YOUR business is OUR business. We are not going to stand for it anymore. You come clean about this, fess up to your greed, looting, murder and other atrocities and hope the American people and the people of the world will not seek revenge in the years to come. The American people will rule!!!!! Democracy for all of us - in this country and in the world - when you come clean.

This administration will go down in history as the most incompetent, most corrupt, and the most arrogant. So keeping or firing Alberto Gonzales is not going to make a darn bit of difference to the moral ineptitude of the Bush inner circle.
I suggest that Bush keeps the AG, and it provides us all with entertainment for remaining of the last term of this presidency.

I'm not so sure the congressional GOP will be so quiet.

Are they really going to stand by and let Bush set a precedent for broad executive privelige that would prevent them from ever forcing one of President Obama's or Hillary's aides from testifying when they have a slim Senate majority in 2010?

The offer is a joke, the public can see that, the GOP can read the writing on the wall. All Bush is doing is stoking the flames of the fire so high that when he is finally forced to sacrifice Gonzales it will be too little too late.

The Bush administration and all the enablers only know how to lie and spin.

I just read at Talking Points Memo, that there is an 18 day memo a gap, November 15 to December 4. Nixon had the 18 minute gap, now Bush has and 18 day gap -- how appropriate.

History will show the opposite of your wishes Max.

I just don't understand the Democrats' continuing reluctance to press ahead with investigations, subpoenas, indictments of this most wayward administration in US history.

Is there any point to continuing to pretend we are a nation of laws?

I'm really depressed about the sorry state of governance being conducted by both parties.

"The President is not going to buckle to the threat of subpoenas." I doubt if they would call it buckling if a citizen didn't comply with a subpoena from Congress.

Is the president above the law or not?

Of Course Bush was not involved. He is an arrogant puppet of the rich corporate right wing, not to mention the wacko evangelicals. He cannot even speak proper english. Corporate america and evangelicals wanted to control everything (to the detriment of most Americans).

America, wake up and stop acting like sheep led to the slaughter. Bush, Rove and Cheney are evil people and you can add the clown from the religious right into this mix, Mr. Dodson, Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, (too long of a list to name all the faux christians.

If the WH says they will testify, but not under oath, that is tantamount to saying they will lie with impunity. Why isn't there more outrage at this requirement? Have we reached the point that our elected officials are not beholden to us at all?

If talking to congress is no different than testifying under oath, WHY THE HELL WON'T THEY DO IT UNDER OATH?

The refusal to have transcripts is understandable. There is the smoking gun, as it were. They plan to lie and obfuscate before congress, then lie to the public afterwards.

This is the most corrupt administration, worse even than the Teapot Dome scandal.

The White House is desperately trying to paint the issuing of subpoenas as a partisan attack. Not so. At this point, the Congress has no choice but to exercise it's authority and to bring balance back to government.

I'm shocked! Dubya wasn't involved in decisions made at the WH?

Fortunately, Bush is so stupid he's going to create a situation whereby the Democrats will finally be able to grill ****.

What is Bush trying to hide? What is Rove afraid of? If there is nothing to hide and Rove intends to tell the truth, he should have no problem testifying under oath.

In the interest of getting all the information out there, Bush needs to explain why there are missing emails - a gap of 18days before Dec 4th, when the US Attorneys were asked to resign. And Bush needs to release ALL internal White House emails related to the USA resignations.

Most of the 'pundits' seem to agree that one side or the other will give in before 'the constitutional crisis" reaches the courts. If Smirk (of the infamous Smirk 'n Snarl duet) takes this to court, you can bet your booties that he has more than this to hide.

Why oh why, please tell me,was it okay to have impeachment proceedings for a President who had oral sex and lied about. (Which only hurt his moral reputation and his wife)
Yet time and time again, the people have to hear about all the corruption, lies and we're above the law actions from this administration and no one has stepped forward to begin proceedings on him or Cheney. Absolutley astounding to me!! Some one in Congress or Senate please show some backbone!!!!

What really needs to happen is they need to back a POLICE TRUCK up to the Whitehouse front door and take all those criminals (from Bush, Cheney and Rove down) out with their hands behind their back in cuffs. These people have committed such criminal acts...You know they're lying every time they open their mouths.

The attempts of this Administration to frame this as a partisan witch hunt while the memos refer to attorneys not let go as "loyal Bushies" is a slap in the face to every American. How dare they claim to be above politics while the evidence shows that absolutely every decision they have made in the past 6 year has been based on politics. BTW, how does a Political Advisor qualify for Executive Privilege anyway?

The president won't "buckle under the threat of subpoenas?" What? Since when is the President above the law? Bush is trying, in vain, to say that these proceedings would damage the institutution of the presidency...only HIS presidency, his autocracy. Testimony under oath is the only option.

So what's the problem with testifying under oath, unless you were planning on lying?
