It was only a matter of time until the Democrat Lynch Mob began its run at President Bush over the Iraq war. The icing on the cake is that they are also going after him on the response to Hurricane Katrina. It would have been too much to expect that the Democrats would parley their newly regained majorities in Congress into an opportunity to rewrite National policy to suit their liberal agenda. You know, seize the moment and so forth.
A House Judiciary subcommittee approved today the first in what is expected to be an avalanche of subpoenas to Bush administration officials. They will likely explore corruption and mismanagement allegations on everything from pre-war Iraq intelligence to the mishandling of the response to Hurricane Katrina.
The first round of subpoenas concern the recent controversial firings by the Bush administration of seven U.S. attorneys, some of whom were pursuing public corruption cases against Republican members of Congress. Story
It is clear that their hatred of President Bush, as well as a psychotic desire for payback for the Clinton impeachment has clouded their judgment. There is nothing more important to the new Democrat majorities than "getting Bush"; a lame duck President who is out of office in less than two years! This is a classic case of Democrat overreaching and could very well blow up in their face.
It will reflect badly on the Democrats when legal council retained to represent the Bush Administration calls Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco to testify on their roles in the Katrina tragedy. The unused, flooded school buses the EAP said were to be used to evacuate the immobile, the urgings by the President for Governor Blanco to evacuate New Orleans in the days before the Hurricane hit, not to mention the money that was earmarked for reinforcing the levies that somehow found its ways into other projects.
In retrospect, I look forward to actions of the Democrat Lynch Mob as they pursue this ridiculous course of action. I especially look forward to seeing how public the numerous Democrat Presidential hopefuls will be during this. When this vengeful abomination has run its course and the Democrats wind up looking like fools, it will bode well for the GOP in 2008. To Democrat leadership I say "let the games begin".
