Buzzflash loves to hit hard at Republicans in Congress, but when it comes to the Democrats, they pitch nice and slow.
Example: In a recent article about a conflict between Henry Waxman and Condoleeza Rice, Buzzflash starts out with the statement, “There’s a reason why we call Rep. Henry Waxman the ‘bulldog.’” Sounds like fighting words, right? So, what’s the reason that Buzzflash calls Henry Waxman a bulldog?
Well, it seems that Henry Waxman is sooooooooo tough that he is not issuing any subpoenas. Ooh boy! Hold Mr. Waxman back! He sure is daaangerous!
Congressman Henry Waxman has written 11 letters to Condoleeza Rice over the last 4 years that have gone unanswered by Secretary Rice. 11 letter, and no response. So, what is Waxman doing now? Guess.
That’s right - he’s writing another letter! Apparently, Waxman hopes that Secretary Rice will have changed her mind about ignoring him, and answer this one… or else! Or else he might just write another letter.
“Waxman did not directly threaten a subpoena, but now that House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers has opened the investigatory floodgates we certainly won’t rule it out,” writes Buzzflash. Investigatory floodgates?
What investigatory floodgates? It’s been more like an investigatory seepage. In spite of all the hype, John Conyers has yet to issue one subpoena for a current Bush Administration official..
People kept on excusing the Democrats for talking tough and not acting tough while the Democrats were in the minority in Congress. They said that the Democrats were not taking action because they couldn’t.
Now, we see that lie exposed. The Democrats could be taking action now, but they’re not. All we’re getting with a Democratic majority in Congress is more tough talk, and the same old promises that they just might take action, sometime, later, maybe.
Oooh, you had best watch out for those Democrats in Congress, or they’ll write you another letter!
We deserve better.
