Has anyone ever noticed that these guys seriously need to go to WeightWatchers?

This is hardly the first time a FORMER speaker has started 'Singing'. Hastert was around a little bit longer than Gingrich and he is 'Singing' a different song too.

Forget the Democrat-Republican nonsense. Vote the losers out. There is probably a reason for Harmon to be out of the intelligence committee. I just wish Hastert would have had the courage to say so when he should have.

The CIA might be a defunct organization, but former congress members are suspect as well. Perhaps even more so.

This is all beyond bad- It is using and abusing communications!

What are the odds that Gonzales used the fact of this wiretap to blackmail Harman to play along with whatever the Bushies wanted?
