&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sounds like the debate is being done by the state democratic party in Nevada- and they are scrambling to save it by having it broadcast by Air America as well as Fox. I’m not sure what Reid has to do with it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sorry, if this has been posted before…(I didn’t read all 239 comments before mine.) The organization to complain to is the Nevada Democratic Party at 702 737-8683. I plan to call them in a couple of hours. Props to Edwards for just saying “no” to the debate.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://thinkprogress.org/2007/03/07/libbys-pardon-problem/&quot;&gt;Think Progress&lt;/a&gt; on pardon:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Newsweek reports that Scooter Libby “does not qualify to even be considered for a presidential pardon under &lt;b&gt;Justice Department guidelines,” which in part “require a petitioner to wait a period of at least five years after conviction or release from confinement (whichever is later) before filing a pardon application.&lt;/b&gt;” President Bush can easily waive the rules, but up until now he “seems to have followed those guidelines religiously.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;emphasis mine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;my guess is that GW has a signing statement on this guideline.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;reid’s voice-mail is full, and the option of “speaking to a member of his staff on an issue” leads directly to hang-up. i’ll call back in another half hour or so …&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;MODO interviews Denis Collins&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I asked him how he would feel if W. pardoned Scooter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I would really not care,” he replied. “I feel like the damage has been done in terms of his reputation and the administration’s reputation.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And what about the calls for Dick Cheney to resign or get the boot?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Here’s the thing: Libby followed Cheney’s instructions to go talk to reporters, but there’s no evidence at all that Cheney told him to lie about it. So the question is, was Libby just kind of inept at getting this story out?”  “&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This mirrors Chris Matthews with the lady juror last night. Nobody is asking the question- leaking classified info is a crime. Outing a covert agent is a crime- even though the slime balls were not charged with it. Collins should know better- seeing he wrote a book on the CIA.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hmmmm, in some ways I like how this is unfolding. John Edwards is really beginning to distinguish himself from the other candidates, in a good way, at least in my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Reid is part of ‘what’s wrong’ with the dems now in power.  He allows Lieberman to threaten and flourish and I also believe he had something to do with the Nevada dems sponsoring a democratic debate on (ugh) Fox.  &lt;b&gt;What democrat watches Fox Noise?&lt;/b&gt;  I think Harry Reid is in over his head as majority leader and is a major embarrassment to dems all over the country.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I say give Harry a chance. There is a huge mess to clean up that the Rethugs have made.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also had a mild stroke not too long ago. He’s not a young man. I’m not defending him, but there is just so much to do, its going to take time. I want him to get us the hell out of Iraq. If he doesn’t, then, something is really wrong with the Dems and its 3rd party time.  I hope not. I give him a few more months to eek out a plan for Iraq. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mostly wish Mitch McConnell gets shingles and stays home for a few years!  :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                210              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don’t want to hear from Harry Reid anymore.  He’s shown himself to be a real tool and no more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chuck Shumer…when I saw him sitting on that Senate panel today, asking questions like he cared, all I could think of was the Senator in Godfather II who woke up with a dead prostitute and the crime family had locked up tighter than Bruce Jenner’s facial skin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m tired of hearing from these guys.  I want to hear from Jim Webb.  I want to hear from Tim Walz (actually, you can in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stthomas.edu/bulletin/news/200710/Wednesday/Genocide3_7_07.cfm&quot;&gt;Minnesota this Sunday&lt;/a&gt;), and John Tester.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You know what I want; I want the best source of news I’ve read this year, FDL, to start interviewing members of congress.  That’s what I want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m tired of letting the MSM spoon feed me the words from these corporate tools.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t forget to add, I want to hear a lot more from Feingold.  Hell, I echo what someone said the other day.  Feingold for Majority Leader!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
