George's "My Way Or The Highway"Attitude Remains Intact

Via Raw Story "They came up and said, 'This is our offer. Take it or leave it. Accept these papers where we've erased 100 pages or more so you don't even know it's on there. Do a closed - door hearing where the public has no idea what was said, and then [of course]not under oath." So obviously the little dictator that could still believes he and his group of minions need answer to NO ONE. The normally genteel and most respectful Senator from Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, had to literally remind the yokel in the White House who is under the delusion that he is really the President, along with his puppet mouthpiece Tony Snowjob that "What we're told we can get is nothing, nothing, nothing," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary chairman. "I know he's the decider for the White House -- he's not the decider for the United States Senate." Video available here. I understand this may be a difficult and unlikeable reality George needs to face up to but wake up to it he must. If not, he and the country is in for a nasty couple of years where nothing will get done thanks to them refusing to realize they are not in the majority (even if definitely slim in the Senate, thanks to Joe LIEbermann and his constant threat to join the Republican ranks). Just in case you missed it, Tony Snowjob seems to be loosing it as well as can be seen by ABC's "Good Morning America." claiming to all far and wide that they have nothing to hide, and are really nice guys willing to give the truth - well their version of it only. Of course this means the meeting is closed to the public, no transcript made available, all based on the assumption that George and the boys (as we have learned for 7 years now)would never ever lie to the Congress or the people who put them there to serve. Of course to no surprise, Democrats rejected Bush's offer -- relayed to Capitol Hill by White House counsel Fred Fielding (remember that name from the Watergate Era?)-- in large part because there would be no transcript and the testimony would not be public. The final and clearest remark regarding the entire matter over the use or non-use of the power of the subpoena and its' "under oath" requirement comes from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NEV) when he said..... it would be "outrageous," to allow Rove to testify off the record. "Anyone who would take that deal isn't playing with a full deck." Words so true and if the stubborn dictatorial bunch across the aisle continue to believe they are answerable to no one, it is definitely going to be a rough and nasty next couple of years where nothing is accomplished, and the nation and its' people suffer because of it.
