I've said it before and I'll say it again. The media is a bigger threat than the Republican party. “They’re still worried about how the press will spin it.”

SaveFarris is right -- this grants them a bipartisan cover. My thinking, though, is something along the lines of "Who really gives a damn at this point if they look partisan?" The Dems are doing what the American public wants; if they were to appear to be the only party doing so, I really don't see that as a weakness. Specter's been pretty good on this whole thing, but I don't trust him an inch. For the past several years I've always known him to talk a good talk and then vote with his party.

By letting Spector be the "face" of the Gonzales witch hunt, it allows Leahy to claim bipartisan cover. Otherwise, the headline would read "Democratics Investigate Republican" and America would yawn.
