Every day a new stupid from the Dem [cough] leadership. TPM:
The House Democrats were set to hold a vote this Friday on whether to find White House officials in contempt of Congress for ignoring subpoenas related to the U.S. attorney firings investigation, The Politico reports. But no more. The vote, already delayed since July, has been pushed to December, at the earliest. The reason? The Politico quotes a "top House Democratic leadership aide": "[Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-NY)] has been saying that this week is not the time to do this, that it will step on our message on Iraq and FISA."
What a wuss. The common factor in all three stories--FISA, Iraq, and Bush blowing off the subpoenas--is overweening, arrogant, unaccountable power. That's the message, unless you're a preening, credit-grabbing, camera-hogging, weinie-scarfing machine politico Master of the Teabags like Rahm. Surely that--the power grab part, that is--is not a hard message to send, by now? And the American people already understand it.
But wait! I've got an idea:
Why don't we send Fred Fielding a Sternly Worded Letter
?
UPDATE Forgot this one: Fred Fielding's Happy Day.

That, and a fruit tray.
Balance, you know. Ms. Pelosi would approve.

I have adjusted the definition of Sternly Worded Letter
accordingly; and a hat tip to farmer for inventing this one.
We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan
