Wonder if W. has considered movin his “Library” to California to share space with Nixon.

He won’t need much space-

And americans should have an opportunity to consider the two crooks at the same time.

I misread that as “the two books” at first, but that would fit too. The Nixon/W library, containing the best moments of their respective presidencies (i.e., printed articles of impeachment).

Addington definitely does not have Aspergur’s syndrome, but he is, like all of the West Wing consumately sociopathic.

Jacqrat at 82 — You are more than welcome. :) Jane is going to kick this cancer’s ass — and it’s because of all the support she gets from everyone here, along with the meds. You guys have all been so good for her the whole way through this — and we’re going to keep it up as long as it takes to kick this cancer’s ass.

The meds may well have knocked her immune system for a loop, though. Does anyone have tips on how to rebuild an immune system?

“Cheney and Addington will go down in history as the most aggressive and successful advocates of executive powers in this nation’s history. As Fritz Schwarz and I have charted, “Cheney and Addington were in large part responsible for the 1987 Congressional Minority Report out of the Iran-contra affair, which first asserted that the White House could wield “monarchical notions of prerogatives.” They grounded their vision of executive power on the prerogatives exercised by the British kings who were overthrown by the American Revolution.”

They should’ve checked with Justice Scalia who argues persuasively that foreign law and practice is not American law or practice. We do not have monarchs as our Law does not allow it.

Clusterfuck took a big risk with this immigration bill- to establish relevance. He lost- twice- kicked in the teeth by his own party. He’s havin less fun bein president.

I thought he called it “my base”.

It’s hard to get senators or representatives to give up their turn at the microphone, but not impossible.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has a profile of Claire McCaskill that discusses her prosecutorial style and gives an example of Jay Rockefeller giving his lead.

That style persuaded Rockefeller to let McCaskill lead the recent subcommittee hearing on gaps in aviation security, a rarity for a lawmaker in office less than a year.

“I turned it over to her as quickly as I could, and then she just took off and she was fantastic,” Rockefeller said.

She is also fighting for freshmen senators to be able to chair subcommittees. To me this makes sense as the same people don’t have time to put forth maximum effort in every committee and subcommittee.

Former prosecutors make great senators!

Aren’t you aware of the schools being painted in Indiana?

I almost feel sorry for Scooter Libby and any other of the subordinates who had to work in this administration’s environment of lies, secrecy, deciet, and cover ups. It seems like it would be hard to do your job effectively while always trying to keep your ever changing stories straight in case there was some investigation. The thing is they relied on people like Karl Rove to run the election cycles to keep a rubber stamp majority in congress so there would never be any meaningful oversight. With a republican majority in congress, nobody in the White House would ever get caught. It’s no wonder why all these people are resigning and fleeing before they have the chance of ending up like Scooter Libby. All the republicans in congress are just as complicit in all this as the White House and they are getting off scott free. The only way we have to prosecute them for their crimes is to vote them out of office, but they are rarely exposed because so much if not all the attention is on the White House. If only the average american spent a few hours every week watching C-span.

Well said!
