CNN just reported that White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, was asked about Harry Reid’s statement. She quickly turned it around to say that the “Democrats will use this for politics”. I guess it was fine and dandy for the Republicans to use a blow job for politics in the Clinton years, but when it comes […]
Pleosi has released the following statement: Today’s guilty verdicts are not solely about the acts of one individual. This trial provided a troubling picture of the inner workings of the Bush Administration. The testimony unmistakably revealed – at the highest levels of the Bush Administration – a callous disregard in handling sensitive national security information […]
The media was reporting yesterday that if Lieberman switched parties it would throw the majority control into the Republicans court. Now we find out that this is actually wrong. The Democrats will retain control of the 110th Senate until the 111th Senate is convened: If Lieberman were to caucus with the Republicans, they would still […]
Lieberman swore up and down during his campaign that he would not switch parties. Now he isn’t sounding so sure.

One of the key reasons for the Democrats victory this past year was attributed to the ethic problems in Washington. Even Bush admitted that. Now the Senate Republicans do not want to fix the ethic problems: Senate Republicans scuttled broad legislation last night to curtail lobbyists’ influence and tighten congressional ethics rules, refusing to let […]
Erica Werner from the AP reports this: Incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid did not break Senate rules in accepting free ringside seats at boxing matches from the Nevada Athletic Commission, the Ethics Committee has concluded.

Harry Reid – Majority Leader Robert Byrd – President Pro Tempore Dick Durbin – Asst. Majority Leader Barbara Boxer – Chief Deputy Whip Bill Nelson, Thomas Carper and Russ Feingold – Deputy Whips House results should be later on today.
