even if it nails a GOP senator. What gives?
Nov. 9, 2005
As far as I'm concerned, I don't care who leaked it. I don't care who talked to the Washington Post. I don't care if it's a Republican Senator. I don't care if it's a Republican Senate staffer. There is no reason that Congress should not get to the bottom of this, but all of a sudden because it might take out a few senators or a few staffers, "Oh, no, no, no, no! Why, we can't do that." That's why I'm for it! I don't care who it is. I talked to you not long ago about the problem that Bush has in going to the war with "the army he has" in the Senate. This business that we've got Republicans or a Republican or a staffer leaking this stuff to the Washington Post/ There's a reason why it happened. If it is a Republican -- I know Dingy Harry is trying to focus attention on Cheney, because Cheney was there on Tuesday, and they were having some meetings, but Lott says it's a Senate staffer. Well, we don't know who it is and that's why we need an investigation, but I don't care if it is a Republican or if it's two Republicans. You know, whoever is doing this is leaving the party for dead by letting the leadership announce this formal investigation and so forth and putting the onus on these people to go find their own people. Well, if that's the case then we gotta do it -- and I'm not trying to be a National Honor Society contestant here or occupy some moral high ground. This is serious stuff. Let's find out.
