What Did Al Franken Know, and When Did He Know It?Democrats vow not to take out anger on Roberts
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who is expected to help lead his party's opposition to Judge Roberts, called Mr. Bush's recess appointment "shameful and irresponsible" and lamented that the "cloak of secrecy from the White House continues."That's rich coming from HIM! He STILL hasn't come clean about killing that girl in the car when he drove off the bridge at Chappaquidak (sp?). Last time I looked Bolton didn't have manslaughter to contend with.
"There's little appetite in the Democratic caucus for further abuse of power by the president or stonewalling," said one aide, adding that the party will be even more insistent on information about a Supreme Court nominee than they were about Mr. Bolton.Let's see now - the administration already said it wouldn't give the Donks all the working papers that they are demanding. So how does this mesh with the bit about not being so obnoxious on the Roberts debate?
Republicans said Democrats left Mr. Bush no choice. "Although I would have preferred an up-or-down Senate confirmation vote on John Bolton ... the president's appointment of Secretary Bolton was necessary to ensure our representation at the United Nations and to provide momentum to the vital process of U.N. reform," said Sen. Richard G. Lugar, Indiana Republican and Foreign Relations chairman. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Tennessee Republican, noted that Mr. Bolton has won majority support from the Senate four times -- although he never reached the 60-vote plateau necessary to break the Democratic filibuster.Still the filibuster - what about the "new spirit of cooperation from the gang of 14"????
And finally, from Sen. Voinovich:
Sen. George V. Voinovich -- the OhioRepublicanRINO who broke with his party by saying he couldn't support Mr. Bolton -- said he was disappointed with the recess appointment, but will stand behind the president's decision. "I am truly concerned that a recess appointment will only add to John Bolton's baggage and his lack of credibility with the United Nations," Mr. Voinovich said. "That said, the president has made this decision, and I will do everything in my power to support Mr. Bolton as he takes his new position."WOW! Talk about an almost perfect weasel statement - a truly masterful job of planting himself firmly on both sides of the fence on this one! This is almost up to Daschle quality!
Don't you think that the MSM would be slightly more interested in the Air America scandal -- where the lib radio network evidently "diverted" funds earmarked for children and the elderly to itself -- if it involved a conservative network?...
