Henry Waxman

KT says
.
But with Democrats now in control at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, those kind of investigations were certain to be put on a back burner.
.
Not if LIEberman has anything to say about it!
.
lol nice article Karen

Well this is fairly reminiscent of the surprise victory over Hillary in Michigan and Florida at the DNC. Makes you wonder if this inside game isn't part of a larger strategic vision.

Truck Nutz for the 137 Democratic Congresspersons!

Go Henry! I love the idea of shoving Dingell out and making real progress on higher CAFE standards.

KT reports that Waxman would be seen as "not be sensitive enough to the need to protect jobs". Funny, that.
.
NAFTA has helped ship more jobs overseas than any environmental regulation. Not that I'm against either, but if both cost jobs, why is it that free trade is seen as a Good Thing and environmental regulations are seen as a Bod Thing? Jus' sayin'.

They just ready your article about HRC and "Team of Rivals" on MSNBC

ready=read

KT - Considering how important this change is to Obama's agenda, it's awfully hard to believe his fingerprints aren't all over this, either through Emanuel or Pelosi. Yet you suggest that Pelosi stayed out of this. Can that possibly be true? Isn't this as important as the Lieberman issue? Is this just an example of how well they can avoid leaking when they in charge of all the players?

SG -

Oh dear. Have you become "noun, verb, Joe LIEberman"?

If I was a conspiracy theorist, and contrary to the rumors I am not, I would point out that Rahm was on the Hill today ostensibly to talk to the GOP in the House and Senate. But he could have always slipped in the side door....

Is it mean to say Waxman reminds me of Moleman on the Simpsons?

If i was a conspiracy theorist, which I am not no matter what rumors you might here, I would point out that Rahm was on the Hill today supposedly to talk to the GOP in both houses. But maybe he slipped in the side door...

yeah I am pounding the LIEberman drum. I want somebody to pay, and right now I am calling for Harry Reid's head. By the way Reid the cowardly lion's quote today was "what is bringing a bunch of bills ot the floor that won't pass do?". What a spineless chump. I wonder if he noticed that the Dow tanked today after they announced they were throwing in the towel instead of voting for the 25 billion for the Big 3

sgw-MSNBC has an unnatural fascination with all things Clinton.

Apparently if you can't say anything nice about Bill, sit next to Andrea Greenspan. Which reminds me- did anyone see Meacham on the Daily Show? The groans from the audience did not deter his Clinton-bashing. Twit.

And Waxman made my day.

SG - I hope you're wrong about Reid being a wimp. He actually seems to have held the caucus fairly well over the last couple of years. I know he appears ineffectual, but that may just be appearances. I'm serious.
.
becca - didn't see the Meacham. last night? I'll catch it on the replay tonight if so. I'm fond of Meacham. I don't remember him being especially anti-Hillary during the campaign.

You are absolutely right
.
Tweety is OBSESSED right now.
.
Even worse than my obsession with Lieberman
.
Its sickening really.
.
Michelle Bernard's stealth conservative azz is on now bashing the Clintons

Why did Harry Reid speak glowingly of Ted Stevens today during his sendoff? This guy just caught 7 felony cases! It appears that he is spineless AND dumb.

Kathy I have been trying to convince folks to see the obvious orchestration from Lieberman's pardon and movement off of the environment committee to the waxman maneuver. We certainly have a chess master at the helm. Of course, as KT says publicly they have to attribute the moves to other things.
.
becca -- I saw the show I thought he bombed because he wasn't funny and he tried too much to make every statement a teaching moment rather than go for the cheap one liner. this is a show that celebrates cheap one liners.
.
But overall there is just way too much Clinton hating in the msm. I don't know about you but I'm starting to just tune them out at this point.

kathy- never have been a Meacham fan. He had a puritanical streak during the impeachment that turned my stomach. Too blurry about separation of church and state for my taste. He's not by any means the worst of the worst, tho.
Oh!! are you kathy as in KUSA at TalkLeft? Been curious.

sgw- Tweety is the worst of the worst. Someone really needs to do an intervention, but the whole network is filled with enablers.

Now you KNOW you can't talk about Liebeman around me. Listen the guy said at the press conference that he will be introducing his own climate change bill with of course McSame as soon as the next Congress starts. Removing him off the committee does nothing to stop him from getting attention about Environmental issues. And I have to say Ironically enough he has been much BETTER on environmental issues than he EVER was on investigating the government. By the way did I mention that LIEberman said the Environmental was not in fact taken from him? I am sure I mentioned that like 50 times right?

Dee- I agree he was trying to be funny and failed, but the groaners were the Bill BJ jabs.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

I have never understood CDS. What does Josh Marshall have against the Clintons? Isn't he , like, twelve? Where do all those young male bloggers get all that venom?

Sorry for going off topic. What was it again?

Yes SG -- but he's not the chairman anymore and at the moment that's enough for me. And I'm sure someday my sister and her friends in CT will make all of this moot point because they are adamant about making sure he doesn't get another term.
.
Oh yeah since when is Michele Bernard a stealth conservative? She's been an out front right winger since day one.

The Clintons can be disliked for many valid reasons. That doesn't stop people for liking them for irrational ones. Bush was a fake bubba, Bill was the real deal. The David Broder crowd could tell the difference. I think a bunch of it is class snobbery. Bush could order waterboarding of arab toddlers on the White House lawn on Tuesday morning, and on Wednesday Mo Dowd would be in the NY Times with a story about the shrew in the pantsuit, or Bill's genitalia.
