Accusing him of cheating county citizens and clients of his <b>private</b> forensics firm. But the dems think this is aimed at them..? So their investigating it because this guy's LAWYER says the 84 count <i>grand jury</i> indictment is, "trying to curry favor with Bush". Boy, talk about partisan paranoia.

Between the presidential vetos of bipartisan legislation and all the obstructionism by Congressional Republicans (more filibusters than any 3 previous congresses put together! Five minutes with Google will verify it), I'm surprised Congressional Dems can find any accomplishments to tout. I'd lay the blame where it belongs (and I have). ;) Apparently, the Dems are trying for a more positive instead of negative message. This should be interesting.

Going after Hatch Act violaters (justice) and accepting Libby as the sacrificial lamb does not make for good governance. Rubber stamping the Republican budget seems to be lazy to me, don't brag.
