"The choice facing Congress is plain, he said: "You want to get at the truth? Or do you want to create a political spectacle?"
-----Tony Snow
Well, Mr. Snow, if it takes a political spectacle to get the truth, then I want a political spectacle.
I join Senator Leahy and say, I am sick of this. I am tired of the lies...of the half truths, of the cute phrasing, of the spin. I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And if the whole damn administration needs to be hauled up to the hill and put under oath, so be it.
And as for the "they serve at the pleasure of the President line...maybe they shouldn't. If serving at the pleasure of the president means they are allowed to make prosecutorial decisions for partisan reasons, then maybe the system needs to be changed. i don't like the thought that one party or the other controls this. the judicial system needs to be independent of political pressure.
As for spectacles....the spectacle of this administration from "Heck of a job, Brownie, to "atta boy, Turdblossom, to "great job, Gonzales"....is the kind of spectacle we have now...and THAT is what needs to stop.
