Does anyone remember the uproar in 2000 about whether or not Vice President Gore made a political fund raising phone call from his government office? Today, we have Karl Rove's ethical standards (oxymoron alert!).

The new Democratic President will have a major task to eliminate cronyism, incompetence, and blind, mindless loyalty to an idiot from the federal workforce. Meanwhile, these BushCheney criminals should be prosecuted fully under the Hatch Act and every other law on the books. The disgrace of this administration must be corrected.

Who cares. Am I to believe that Democrats don't polotic on my dime? What about special interest 501's coordinating with Dems on judicial votes among other issues?

Shorter Peach: do not defame loyal Bushies like myself! Look, a missing blonde woman!

Peach,

And when Gore called from the WH did you say "Who cares"? The point is that the GOP took the moral high ground when Bush was eleceted and yet everytime we turn around they are doing anything but!

Peach: "Who cares."

Apparently, only those of us who don't want to live in a fascist state.

when will it end?? things always look different when a republican is doing all these things.

They are all crooks and liars!

Not like this and if they do they should pay. This selective memory these folks seem to have under oat and the double talk is a joke. This woman acted like she thought the committee hearing was a farce and she could just play dumb. Mrs. Smith goes to Washington act isn't going to cut it. Where is Patrick J Fitzgerald when we need him. Oh, thats right, they took him off the list. He's still in Chicago fighting Evil Doers.

Doan has told Congress she doesn't recall making the statement, and other witnesses interviewed by congressional investigators are said to have backed her up.

What other witnesses? I watched the testimony and as I recall, several of those who attended the presentation did not back her up but instead said she made the remarks about how GSA could help our candidates."

This is news? Haven't you been paying attention? Since it took office this administration has used all government resources in everything it has done for partisan political purposes. Everything has been to benefit the political elite right wing and their corporate supporters.

I would still rather have all of this BS - than one minute with Kerry as President...

She coordinated talking points about Iraq lies.

"Run on the War."
"She's fair game."

It would come back to Plame.
The GSA was the place where AWOL's talking points were distilled towards a unified narrative.

During Waxman's hearing she told the Congressmen that "you can get to know me better". Yeah, they'll get to know her a whole lot better during her lengthy investigations.

Ho hum . . .
Much ado about nothing.

Michelle Goldberg pegged it..."Kingdom Coming"...looks like it's closer than we think.

It does bother me when they call thee folks before a committee they don’t remember anything. If they are that incompetent that they don’t know what is going on then who the hell put them in charge?

"left-leaning government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW)"? Why are people considered left-leaning when they care about ethics of the government? Is it because the right-leaning clearly don't mind unethical behavior in government? It is truly moronic to elect people who does not believe government can and should do good. That is the right-leaning thinking at work. Who cares? These dumb people who pays taxes and don't care about being robbed blind.

Waxman and Leahy are showing you how your country was stolen. Wait till the RNC emails emerge. The big picture is of grand larceny, I bet, grand larceny on a grand scale.

Please explain further what is "the Office of Special Counsel." Is it executive? Part of GSA, GAO. It's important to the story, for those of us in the dark. Thanks.
