UH OH .. THIS DOESN'T LOOK GOOD Well ... if the rumors pan out let's just say it doesn't look good for Democrats. There's a bit of a buzz around Washington that our investigators in Iraq are meeting with more success than you have been lead to believe in the search for Saddam's weapons. One rumor has it that we can expect to learn a lot more in, say, about six months. I've been floating this idea for a few weeks not ... our D.C. pal Jamie Dupree has been pooh-poohing it. Some might say that if Bush has the goods on Saddam now he should make the information available now. No way, not after that ridiculous 16-word fiasco. Cross all the "Is" and dot all the Is" and then when you're absolutely sure .. call the press conference. Now ... let's just say that we do discover incontrovertible proof that Saddam was building his ugly weapons. Somehow the left is going to have to make the case that it makes no difference, and that we shouldn't have been there in the first place. We'll leave it to Howard Dean to make that case. QUID PRO QUO? We keep hearing that Democrats are blocking Bush nominees to federal courts simply because the evil Republicans blocked Clinton nominees. Sound right to you? OK ... let's just consider Michigan. When Clinton was president he nominated eleven people from Michigan to the Court of Appeals. Nine of them were confirmed. When George Bush (41) was president, there were eight nominees from Michigan. Six of these nominees were confirmed. President Bush has nominated fine judges from Michigan in the last two and one-half years. Not one of them has been confirmed. All of these nominations are being blocked by Michigan's two Democratic Senators, Carl Levin and Debbie Stablenow. Now ... is this really a quid pro quo, or are the Democrats just determined to make sure that no conservatives make it to the federal appeals courts? You know the answer, don't you? HOW ABOUT A REAL FILIBUSTER? The Social Democrat Party defeated, for the 7th time, a vote to end debate on the nomination of Miguel Estrada again yesterday. The vote was 55 to end debate, 45 Democrats said no. You need 60 votes. The Democrats "say" they're opposed to him because he won't release his private legal memos. So far as I know not one liberal appointee to the D.C. Court of Appeals has ever released his private legal memos. The real reason they oppose him is because he believes in our Constitution. They just don't want a conservative on that bench ... or any other, and they'll ignore the constitution to keep those nasty conservatives off. Democrats are getting away with this because there is virtually no public outrage. The Democrats are attacking our very Constitution .. and there's no outrage. I guess too many people are busy worrying about how their favorite college football team will do this fall, or watching Entertainment Tonight on the tube. Thus far the Democrats are filibustering Miguel Estrada and three others. When are the Republicans going to grow a set of gonads and force the Democrats to conduct a real filibuster? This would create news and would give the Republicans the opportunity to tell the people just what is going on here. The Senate should meet --- and stay there, no recess, until these nominees are voted on. And don't give me that nonsense about "well, this is what the Republicans did to Clinton. Remember, there has NEVER been a filibuster of a judicial nominee who had the votes for confirmation. NEVER. NASCAR DUMPS JESSE JACKSON No more money for Jackson's Rainbow-Push coalition from NASCAR. It seems that NASCAR is fed up with Jackson's assertions that NASCAR is the "last bastion of white supremacy." Good news. The better news is that Jackson's star is falling. More and more people and businesses are recognizing this race warlord as the shakedown artist he is. As Jesse's flame glows dim look for him to be more and more desperate to regain some semblance of credibility and power. His time is over ... let's hope it stays over. READING ASSIGNMENTS Are the Democrats about to be sandbagged? Is it possible that U.S. investigators looking for Saddam's weapons know a bit more than they're telling us? |
