Good for Senator Reid.
And check out the cry-baby comments coming from the White House:
White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore said... "If the Senate would provide fair hearings and votes the question of recession appointments would never be a topic of discussion."What exactly is a "fair" hearing versus any other kind of hearing? Oh that's right, George Bush's White House is used to having Congress serve only a pro forma, ornamental role in advising and consenting on presidential appointments. After all, that's what the Republicans did for the six years that they were in charge of the Congress during Bush's presidency - nothing. So now that the Democrats are filling their constitutional role of actually holding real hearings, asking real questions, George Bush can't take the notion of having to share power with anyone. So he whines about how unfair the Senate hearings are.
You know, if George Bush is so afraid of a Senate hearing, how is he going to protect us from Al Qaeda?
