Do we have an"Ongoing Scandals" list?
Geez, it's getting hard to keep up. I'll start

1) The 9/11 Commission is continuing to be stonewalled by the Bush Administration. This commission wasn't even convened until after at least a year had past, and the Admin has been withholding documents regarding everything. Now, after restricting the number to three people who could look at certain "Daily Briefs" and take notes only, the Admin has the audacity to try to keep these people from giving their notes to the rest of the commission. You gotta be fuggin' kiddin' me.

2)

2. We need to make all the stonewalling
more apparent to the people. The Republican's have exposed the sweet spot, and now we must take advantage. The fact that George Bush has insisted that he alone should appoint an investigation, exhibits guilt and fear of that guilt being exposed any further. When somebody, anybody does not respond to accusations to come clean, you know they are or you begin to believe they are hiding something. It will be very interesting to see how the public reacts to this "Independent Investigation". We just need to get on the media to expose this potentially crippling dilemma. The White House is on the defensive, it's time for the knock-out punch.

3. Where would you start?
I'd start with the spy plane forced down in China.

You could do a Bush list AND
a list - if Bush was Clinton !

7. HARKEN STILL NOT RESOLVED - KICK
I guess little eddie gillespie would have another cow if this fact meets the light of day. I'll try my best to see that it does. My fellow DUERS, our persistence is paying off. AWOL is now public knowledge. Plame will be vindicated. Keep charging.

Contrast our efforts to expose the truth with that of dumbass conservatives in the 90's who couldn't keep up with their fabrications and still spent 70 million tax dollars, all in the pursuit of a liberal penis. Sick bastards.

5. How about the Energy Task Force papers.
That task force was paid for by the Amnerican people and the American people should be able to see what happened and who the players were. But the Admin stonewalling is going all the way to the Supreme Court and then Cheney has the audacity to fly one of the Justices to a luxury swamp and wine and dine him at some hunting preserve. You gotta be fuggin' kiddin' me.

6. How about Bush's Enron buddies in the submarine
that killed all of those Japanese fishing students?

Cheney and Scalia vacationing together, even though Scalia is to rule on Cheney's energy caper.

8. Let's not forget Plame/Wilson.
This investigation is ongoing. The Admin revealed to the press that a Joe Wilson's wife was CIA because he publicly told the truth about the Niger/Yellowcake fabrication. You gotta be fuggin' kiddin' me.

9. Wasn't there a bugging of the Security Council Members?
Many Halliburton scandals -- the French are investigating them and now the FTC is too for kick backs -- while Cheney was president.

Are we limited to Shrub, or are the Senate staffers for Frist included?

And whatever happened to the Anthrax investigation?

I never dreamed that one adminstration could screw so much up is so little time.
