    “The administration has worn out the benefit of the doubt.”

    Nice.

    Now we’re zeroing in on those eMails, how long will it be before we completely lose track of what this whole thing is about?

    Who runs the White House e-mail server, Ollie North?

    What this is all about is simple:

    Oversight and The Rule of Law come to the “Unitary Executive” bunkers built by the Political Branch of the White House, as they try to shred the Constitution.

    It sure looks like the Bushies will have to be dragged out of those bunkers kicking and screaming.

    I am proud to say I think we elected people who will be up to the task.

    Please send Reid, Pelosi, Leahy and Waxman eMails and calls and letters of encouragement, this is LONG overdue.

    Way to go, wellstone: You described absolutely nothing.

    In about a week, the EMails will be the story, we won’t know why anyone wants them, and then it will be like WaterGate, where after 30 plus years, no one knows what those guys were doing in there — but Nixon resigned!

    YaY!

    If you think Bush is going to resign, you’ve got another think coming.

    Clinton set that standard: “You can impeach my ass, and I still ain’t leaving!”

    “Clinton set that standard: “You can impeach my ass, and I still ain’t leaving!” fd

    BS!! He didn’t leave because many, many, many Americans didn’t see his crime as an impeachable offense. And still don’t.

    Thee only ones who were calling for him to leave were people like you and the rest of the crazy, idiotic right.

    Face it Frank, that impeachment was nothing more than a manifistation of the right’s ugly, unhealthy hatred for anything liberal.

    Rounds: Considering he didn’t leave, the impeachment didn’t do much good.

    Even if you ignore Pres. Clinton’s sniveling “finger to the wind” politics, he disgraced the Presidency as far as I’m considered.

    He traipsed around this country like the stereotypical “Foghorn Leghorn” and made a mockery of the Presidency.

    Period.

    As for hating anything liberal, is that a condemnation?

    you have to be convicted in your impeachment before you have to leave you stupid bush sucking asshole.

    and the connecticut cowboy struts around like Yosemite Sam. How is that not embarrassing? I lost all respect for the coward when he ran away and hid on 9/11.

    I guess I liked Clinton’s “finger to the wind” politics more than Bush’s “Thumb Up His Butt” politics.

    Talk about making a mockery of the presidency. Bush has Zero Credibility.

    Is this the same Leahy who was forced to resign RESIGN MIND YOU- from the Senate Intelligence committee for leaking classified. That the Leahy calling for accountability??

    Frank: “like WaterGate, where after 30 plus years, no one knows what those guys were doing in there…”

    Yeah, Frank. Nobody remembers the crimes Nixon and his cronies were guilty of. It was all just “partisan politics,” right? Bunch of America-hating liberals out to get the awesome patriotic superhero Richard Nixon.

    Except, oh, wait. He was a criminal. And wasn’t that a Republican Congress that impeached him?

    Your mewlings post November 2006 are truly pathetic.

    Exactly, Dugger. Leahy is the perfect person to call Bush to accountability. An investigation determined the information Leahy leaked wasn’t classified and that no criminal or ethical violations occured and he still resigned for the offense. That’s integrity, something Bush sadly lacks.

    “…he disgraced the Presidency as far as I’m [concerned].” fd

    Once again, only you and your wingnut brethren believe Clinton’s actions rise to a level of disgrace. And only you and the same exact crowd think Bush is wonderful. Did you ever notice that eventually only you and your political peers are the only ones to believe something to be true? You always end up in the minority on just about every issue.

    Think about that.

    This is interesting.

    But they acknowledged that {the RNC} took action to prevent Rove — and Rove alone among the two dozen or so White House officials with RNC accounts — from deleting his e-mails from the RNC server. Waxman (D-Calif.) said he was told the RNC made that move in 2005.

    Now why do you think they would do that, I wonder?
