“Off with their heads!�

Awfully Radical Islam Queen of Hearts of you Holly… I’ll be careful not to ‘paint roses’ in your presence.

And while I’m on my rant, I’ll go ahead and point out the number of times Clinton’s White House attempted to keep White House and Administration officials from having to testify.

Cabinet members and Clinton White House officials were summoned to testify before Congress 39 times. Most of those times they did so without the administration going to court seeking to avoid having them testify.

And, by the way, most of those instances were clearly fishing expeditions initiated by a rabid Republican Congress hellbent on getting something on Clinton and his people, one way or another. In the current situation with Bush and his people, there is ample and obvious reason to believe wrongdoing has occurred.

Gimme a break. Apples and oranges.

And Bush’s unpopularity has Democratic coffers full -they outmatched the GOP by 30 million. I think America wants a change.

And while I’m on my rant, I’ll go ahead and point out the number of times Clinton’s White House attempted to keep White House and Administration officials from having to testify…. all these attempts were, if I’m correct, shot down by the courts as an improper assertion of Executive Privilege. Shaun: were you blasting Clinton back then? Or is it just Republicans that send your blood pressure up?

And yeah, I’m pretty sure nobody gets to run the RNC without the blessing of the President… as was the case with the DNC when Clinton was in charge (i.e., McAuliffe)

Guess it takes a little wind out of the anti-Bush sails if you point out that he is/was doing just what Clinton did in his time, right?

First, I’m not so sure the president picks the head of the RNC. Are you?

Second, Clinton appointed a series of highly qualified, serious people who were charged with the responsibility of serving the people as a whole, not just fat-cat party backers, special interests in his political base, big corporations and the wealthy generally.

Clinton’s Cabinet sparkled with people of high achievement and excellent qualifications. Compare Robert Rubin and John Snow, Robert Reich and Elaine Chow for good examples of what I’m talking about. Clinton even appointed a Republican moderate, William Cohen, based on his excellent character and expertise. Then, we can talk about FEMA directos and attorneys general.

If only Bush had done nearly as well with appointments as Clinton did, our country, he and his administration would all be better off.

Now, to the substance of Shaun’s post, she’s refusing to testify because, according to her attorney, she faces a the potential of “legal jeopardy… from even her most truthful and accurate testimony…”. I’d wager that Shaun’s comrades on the left have already written criminal referrals to the Justice Department… without bothering to wait and listen to the testimony. But there’s nothing wrong with verdict first, testimony later when there’s a Republican who needs frying, right?

And, in what seems to be a required footnote, save your breath screaming that I am some Bush sycophant…. for I, unlike some of the fire breathers here, am the true moderate!

Give someone like George W. Bush a federal government to play havoc with and see how quickly it becomes unfit to serve in or to serve the people.
