So Much for Trusting the Analysts

I heard some knucklehead analyst on CNN today announce that the Iraq Study Group was commissioned by President Bush.

Uh, NO.

It was commissioned by Congress.

Commission members were apparently chosen because they were people that even GWB would trust to be fair and honest and candid. The Democrats on the panel were Leon Panetta, who served in both the Nixon and Reagan White Houses; Chuck Robb, the only Democrat to vote for all the "Contract With America" bills; Vernon Jordan, Bill Clinton's self-apponted conscience; William Perry, who had no taste for the Defense Department, or more particularly for President Clinton, and co-chair Lee Hamilton, who, as chair of the Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran chose not to investigate Ronald Reagan or George H. W. Bush.

I guess George guessed the truth. This was a hit squad.

Republican Congressmen Boycott Spitzer

New York's six remaining Republican congressmen were conspicuously absent from a Wednesday breakfast meeting with Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer.

Lame excuses were offered by some. Spokesmen whined that the invitations came too late, or that they didn't expect anything important to be discussed. Jim Walsh had a previous engagement, a meeting of his 2008 campaign committee!!!!

The list of the missing: Pete King, Randy Kuhl, Tom Reynolds, Jim Walsh, Vito Fossella, and our own John McHugh.

These birds averaged less than 55% of the vote this time around, three of them sweating out blood in the final recanvass. Spitzer broke all modern records for a gubernatorial candidate in NY, with 70% of the votes.

He'll match his mandate to your's anytime, turkeys.

If I was Eliot Spitzer, I'd bitch-slap the whole bunch of ya sissies.
