Bud Cummins and seven other attorneys were fired some time ago. Congress thinks it was lied to about the reasons. They are considering issuing subpoenas to people in the White House. They want to talk to Karl Rove.
These attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. Oh well. We all know that anything that makes Bush feel good can't be good for the country right. And so on the heels of the Libby verdict, there's another witch hunt all over the news.
Who knew what and when?
I think this one is a waste of time, and yet another attempt for the Democratic Congress to impugn Bush for making judgment calls which are the purview of his office. The more people they can pressure to resign, the better their case looks that the White House is corrupt. Here's the plan. Look for something that requires a bit of discretion, gin up a controversy and see if you can find any inconsistency. Pub up the inconsistency and send a senior Critter to the networks with a conspiratorial outrage. Ask huge sweeping questions about a probable error and then, as Senator Feinstein did yesterday, call it a 'strategy'. Somewhere in that stew pot, you are bound to find a lie. Hype up the administrative intrigues and then drag people in front of juries or committees. Manufactured drama for the cynical masses.
The Derangement Syndrome has taken root in the Congress.
Today or tomorrow this 'scandal' will have a name.
