So where are all the contempt charges?
Condoleeza, Miers, Rove... all under subpoena, all ignoring them.

I've heard rumbles that Waxman and Conyers are being reigned in on contempt charges. Is this true?

3. It's all a fucking sham
They're all in it. Every one of them. Up to the fucking necks. Either BushCo has dirt on them, or they hold substantial interests in defense contractors. There is simply no excuse for the Democrats doing NOTHING.

Gone to back rooms on the hill,
Long time ago.
